I have a question regarding calibrating the 1V/Oct jacks. I’ve followed the instruction in the manual: no cables in besides the Out A and Out B, all knobs turned fully counter clockwise besides the root and pitch knobs (to make the notes audible) and all switches in the upright position. I hold the Learn and Freeze mode for 2 seconds and the Learn light begins flashing blue. I ply my pitch output of my Keystep into the Pitch jack playing a C2 and push the Learn button, at which point both the Learn and Freeze buttons turn purple and then fade to the usual yellow. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong? The calibration is way off currently.
@@justinhille8151 from an email I received from 4ms yesterday: "Hi, it's likely that your keyboard is not outputting 2V and 4V when you play C2 and C4, respectively. The Keystep can be configured to output different voltages ranges for the octaves (i.e. a software "offset"), using Arturia's MIDI Control Center computer software. So it's likely your unit is actually outputting some other voltage than 2V when you play a C2. One option is to use that software to set C2 to output 2.0V (instead of the default 0V). Another option is to try playing a C4 and C6 instead of C2 and C4. If that doesn't work, try C3/C5 or C1/C3. Keep trying different pairs of C’s that are two octaves apart until you find the one that works using your keyboard. If you have a voltmeter you could figure out which note outputs 2.00V on your keyboard, but it's probably faster just to try a few different octaves until you find one that works." This ended up being exactly the problem with mine. I used the Arturia MIDI Control Center to change my C2 output to 2.0V instead of 0V and then I was able to calibrate the Ensemble Oscillator just as described in the manual. Hopefully this works for you too!
Thanks for the help...but I have a weird problem,:when I make my scale,(on 12T parameters,and the second scale...),when I play the notes of my scale for example C,Dsharp,G,A sharp,and D....a classic Cminor9,I put on the scale button for finishing the process,the light turn green...perfect.but when I turn the roots button,to play the notes one by one,the 5 first note are good,but after on the higher oscillator the notes are note the same,and it’s not the good scale of note....can you help me?do i make something bad?,all my button are down (balance,fm,spread,etc except the roots and the pitch.)do I need to play 16 notes for be sure to have the 5 notes of my scale untill the higher oscillator ?
You can see that the same thing happens in the video when he turns the Root knob. The notes don't play the same chord all the way up. I think it plays the notes of the scale until it reaches the top, then it pitches the notes up based on partials. So, it plays the scale normally, then it plays the scale pitched up a fifth, octave, third, etc. up the partials.
I think the way to have a constant scale you'll just have to play the root note again at the end. So if you make a C chord, end up with C one octave up in the end of the chord and it will be continuous. It's explained in this video: https ://ua-cam.com/video/BU5z6HS7ed4/v-deo.html
@@dephoner6911 hello,ahah,yes it's the best technique i found to...,i finish with the root note 1oct up...,but sometimes,the 5 notes i played are perfectly,but after it's wild...,now,i use a precision adder,and i play the scale i want but until the last 16 note.... sometimes it's falling on the roots note for a triad for example,and sometimes if it's a 5note chords,i fall on the last note of the chords,and it's pretty stable, it's better 🤙
Wow, this sounds so much more pleasant than other demos I've watched.
Can you also make a tutorial for calibrating 1V/oct jacks? ❤️
does it work with Microtonal scales from the Ornament and Crime modul?
Yep, you'll just use the "Free" scale mode so there are no interval restrictions.

Second this. Following the manual steps but it's not working.
