Tuning
As with all analog instruments, the minilogue xd's circuitry can drift over time during perfor-
mance due to changes in environment and temperature. The minilogue xd provides an auto-tun-
ing function that automatically tunes the instrument's analog circuits on demand, to correct for
any analog drift. Auto-tuning will be done when the minilogue xd is not producing a sound.
As you continue to play the minilogue xd for a while right after you've turned it on, the pitch and
tone may gradually drift. If the pitch drift becomes noticeable, use the steps below to tune the
minilogue xd. This will manually bring the instrument back into tune.
The internal temperature tends to change more right after the power is turned on, which

Note:
Microtuning
Microtuning is a feature that changes the pitch of the notes you play on the keyboard (which are
normally tuned in equal temperament) to a different tuning.
The minilogue xd features preset microtunings, and lets you create your own microtunings.
Twelve microtunings are available to edit. Out of these, you can adjust the pitch on all of the notes
on the keyboard for six microtunings called "user scales." The other six microtunings are called
"user octaves," which let you change the tuning of each note within one octave, and that octave's
tuning will be repeated across the keyboard.
The minilogue xd lets you select a different microtuning for each program. See "Microtuning"
(p.33), PROGRAM EDIT mode for details.
