Introduction

The unit is carefully calibrated at the factory. The performance may change over time or due to environmental changes,
and the following recalibration procedures can be used to bring it back to its factory settings. If you do not feel comfortable
doing these calibrations, then we recommend they are done by an experienced audio service technician. This is especially true
for those units that need to be opened to gain access to voltage test points and calibration potentiometers.
CAUTION: Incorrect calibration or damage to the delicate adjustment potentiometers may lead to the unit
becoming inoperable.
Note: Although re-calibration will not invalidate the warranty, any damage caused during re-calibration may invalidate
the warranty.

Equipment required

1. Small insulated trimmer screwdriver.
2. Small Phillips screwdriver.
3. A flat sheet of cardboard or another insulator as wide as the PRO 1. (This will help prevent damage to the top panel when it is
inverted and resting on the bottom chassis).
4. Digital DC Voltmeter with a scale that can display accurately to 0.001 V.
5. Guitar tuner
6. An external MIDI keyboard of at least 6 octaves including A1 and A7.
7. MIDI cable.
8. Pair of headphones or a sound system to monitor the main output.
Important Note:
Leave the PRO 1 turned on for approximately 30 minutes. This will allow the circuits time to warm up and the components and
performance to stabilize with temperature. Without this warm-up time, the calibrations
will be inaccurate.

  • Page 2 Synthesizers and Samplers PRO-1 Preparation Follow all steps in the order in which they are presented. Remove all cables and connections to the unit. Remove the 8 screws holding the top panel to the chassis. Turn over the top panel to gain access to the bottom surface of the printed circuit board (pcb). Be careful not to strain the ribbon cables.
  • Page 3 Synthesizers and Samplers PRO-1 Calibration Procedure Oscillator Calibration using a guitar tuner: The positions of knobs and switches are shown in red on Figure 1. Connect a guitar tuner to the rear panel main " output. Please pay special attention to the FREQUENCY knobs of Oscillator A and B.
  • Page 4 Synthesizers and Samplers PRO-1 On your external keyboard, press the A4 key and adjust the OSCA SCALE trimmer while observing the tuner display. This should be trimmed to 440 Hz. Press A1 key again check how much the frequency has drifted and adjust this frequency with OSCA OFFSET trimmer back to 55 Hz.
  • Page 5 Synthesizers and Samplers PRO-1 Repeat the same steps as oscillator A but using OSCB SCALE and OSCB OFFSET trimmers. On your external keyboard, press the A7 key and adjust the OSCB TRIM trimmer while observing the tuner display. OCTAVE Calibration (factory mode) Set the Digital Voltmeter to measure a range below 10 VDC.
