Weird bug - out of tune combis

Post by MrT-Man »

I've encountered a bug lately, whereby some of the programs in a combi get out of tune, or pitch shift. e.g I'll play an orchestral combi & some of the timbres are playing the right note and some aren't! If I check the pitch settings for each program, they seem fine. Rebooting fixes this.

I've only started encountering this in the last few months, once I started to use my Oasys connected via midi to Logic, so I suspect the issue is related. Maybe Logic is sending it a weird midi message of some sort, but I can't imagine why it would.

I don't have the optical in/out connected, so it's not a word clock issue.

Anyone encounter this?

DO you have Local Control turned off in Global mode when connected to
Logic ?

Check the Scale/Temprement settings inside the combi!

This is how my pitch stick problems started... It ended up being a very expensive fix at a sevice center.


I hope for your sake this is midi related, and not a broken stick.

Just to followup, it seems like it may indeed be a pitch stick problem. When I got the issue again I nudged the stick and that seemed to rectify it. Although since this is a sporadic problem I don't have enough data points yet to confirm 100% definitively that this is the cause & solution.

What's weird about this is that a) I hadn't touched the stick between booting up and the problem appearing and b) the stick should shift the pitch of all the timbres in a combi simultaneously, not just some of them... so even if it's erroneous/unwanted pitch shift messages that are being sent out, I don't understand why it would cause the combi to go out of tune.

Hi,

as far as I know, it depends... somewhere in the combie tabs you can either set a value for each timbre or set it to prog so the influence of the stick differs. But that doesn´t solve the problem
