Introduction

The MONOPOLY has a built-in auto calibration function.
If the MONOPOLY is played through the keyboard or through MIDI, and you notice that the VCO is out of tune, it can be
calibrated by running the auto calibration procedure shown on this page.
If you are using external CV to control the MONOPOLY, and you notice that the VCO is out of tune, it can be calibrated using the
procedures shown on the following pages. If you do not feel comfortable doing these calibrations, then we recommend they
are done by an experienced audio service technician.
CAUTION: Incorrect calibration or damage to the delicate adjustment trimmers 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.

Auto Calibration Procedure

To enter the automatic calibration mode, hold the EFFECTS button while powering on the unit. The VCOs will be calibrated in
sequence. If successful, each related VCO LED will flash; if not successful, they will not light up.
To return to the factory calibration, hold the HOLD and EFFECTS buttons while you power on the unit.
As mentioned above, if you are using the keyboard or MIDI to play, then this auto calibration is all that is required. If you are
using CV to control the MONOPOLY, and you think it may require tuning, then follow the procedures below.
