HI,

Last weekend we did a gig outside. And it happens 3 times that te PC3X was out of tune.

After a reboot it was fine again.

Weird, because it never happens before. Usualy the machine is rock-stable.

Anyone who had the same experience?

Hi,

Most likely the Pitch Wheel not returning to 0.

But it could be MIDI 21 or MIDI 15 being sent by a controller or MIDI.

Check if PANIC fixes it.

Also, check the MIDI State for those controllers as that will give you a hint of what's going on.

Regards,

Fran

We started training with the band again.

And it happened again. After a minute or so the tuning goes down for a half note. Pressing the panic buttons resolved it but after a while it happened again. A reset helped. After that it stayed in tune for the rest of the session.

It seems like a software problem to me.

Can't find any connection with the pitch wheel.

I am thinking of doing a factory reset.

Kind regards,

Henk Jan

Hi,

It's not a Software issue for sure. 

Something is actually sending that pitch change. 

Check the MIDI State, MIDI CC 15 and MIDI CC 21.

If not, the pitch wheel is the guilty one. This is the most likely case.

If it happens always with the same Setup (Multi), then you might have some controller sending the pitch change.

Things to do next time it happens:

- Move the pitch wheel. Does the problem disappear? Then it's the pitch wheel.

- Check the MIDI State as mentioned above. If you have unexpected values in 15 and 21, then some controller, or external MIDI device, is changing the values for those controllers.

I appears to be the pitchwheel.

I am looking for a replacement potentiometer. But the original product isn't available anymore.

Doe anyone knows another brand replacement?

Kind regards,

Henk Jan
