Pitches are tuned incorrectly on a external MIDI synthesizer or sampler.
Is MIDI IN of the synthesizer connected to TPX2s/4s/6 MIDI THRU?
YES
TPX2s/4s/6 MIDI THRU gives untuned output.
Connect the synthesizer to TPX2s/4s/6 MIDI OUT.
Are the pitches still incorrect?
YES
• The patches you are using could be altering the
Pitch Bending response. Try some other patches.
• Check your synthesizer user manual; the
synthesizer may have a fixed Pitch Bend range; .
in which case your tuning tables must be
specially created for this range, see Tuning Box
Editor documentation.
• Turn DIP Switch 4 OFF. See section 9.
If your synthesizer is compatible according to its MIDI Implementation chart, you have followed
these instructions and pitches are still not tuned correctly, please email contact@h-pi.com
Pitches of an external MIDI synthesizer or sampler are bending after they sound.
Does the selected patch use MIDI Portamento?
YES
Pitches bending audibly is the correct result for
patches using MIDI Portamento, and will also
result when Portamento ON has been sent to a
MIDI Channel. Try a different patch or turn
Portamento OFF. Portamento is MIDI CC65, and
Portamento Time is controlled by CC5 (MSB) and
CC37 (LSB).
If pitches are still bending audibly after they begin sounding, please email contact@h-pi.com
NO
Synthesizer MIDI IN must be connected
to TPX2s/4s/6 MIDI OUT.
NO
• Most likely the synthesizer was
accidentally reset and this canceled
previously received Pitch Bend range
setting messages.
• The first patch you were using may alter
Pitch Bending response, try it again.
NO
The synthesizer is smoothing data
between Pitch Bend values, or it is
quantizing the timings of incoming MIDI
messages. Increase the Pitch Bend
Response Timing. See section 9:
