R3 wheel calibration

Post by crosswick »

Hi all,

I've repaired a broken selector pot on a friend's R3, for which I had to disconnect the pitch & mod wheels. After reassembly the wheels aren't working properly though... it seems they need calibration.

In the microKORG service manual I found online there is a button combination to be pushed to calibrate the wheels during power-up (write + 7), so I guess there is probably something similar for the R3.

Haven't been able to find the R3 service manual yet though... anyone have this and/or know how to calibrate the wheels?

Thanks!

I've gotten a response from my local Korg importer; the key command during power up for calibrating the wheels is:

[LATCH] + [OCT UP]

In my case this didn't solve the problem of the mod wheel not functioning and the pitch wheel also sending mod wheel messages; after opening the unit up again it turned out there was some conductive goo on the circuit board, right at the pins of the wheels connector. I scraped that off and now everything's fine & dandy again.
