Roland NOVA-MOD SH-101 Manual page 7

good ears, you may be able to adjust VR-6 without an instrument. (use keys G3 and G4 if you use a guitar
tuner
that reads only EADGBE notes) Note :you may have to adjust VR-7 slightly to retune. Unfortunately VR-6
adjusts the width AND the overall tuning. TIP: Play the lowest note and set it to reference point using VR-7
(i.e.
G3 for the guitar tuner) Next press the G4 key and note where it sounds. If it is too high, then adjust VR-6 so
that
the G4 note increases in pitch (YES INCREASES). Next, play G3 again and adjust VR-7 to re-center the
guitar
tuner. Press G4 and see how close you have come. If G4 is too low then lower the pitch through VR-6.
Repeat
this until You get your octave spacing.
15. Press an A key and adjust VR7 until the guitar tuner is centered on A (221/442/884 on a counter).
16. Repeat 14 and 15 until happy or crazy. (Actually SH-101's are easy compared to Moogs!!!)
17. De-power the Synth
18. Re-power again holding the TRANSPOSE and LOAD keys.
19. Press the U&D button then press the UP button. Adjust VR-5 until the output is at the same pitch for each
button.
20. De-power then re-power synth.
21. Adjust sliders so that:
all waveforms and noise levels are 0.
Res. is at Max.
VCF Env and VCF Mod are 0
Cutoff is approx. 8 (adjust so that a tone is hear from the self oscillation of the filter)
22. Alternately play two notes exactly 1 octave apart.
23. Adjust VR-8 until the two notes played sound 1 octave apart. Use a freq. counter or tuner or ear to measure.
24. Measure the DC voltage across the two test points on the Bender Board. (The test points are the wires
accessed
through the two holes drilled in the circuit board.) Adjust VR-3 on the bender board for a 0.000V dc reading.
