Calibrate keyboard

This  option  allows  you  to
calibrate  the  RS290  so  that,  in
Sample mode, you can play the
sample  from  an  "x"  V/Oct
keyboard  and  have  it  track
correctly across a wide range.

To calibrate:

Apply  a  CV  of  0v  to  the
ASSIGN/SAMPLE 

PITCH

input,  select  "Apply  0V  to
Sample  pitch  input"  and  then
press SELECT.

Next,  apply  a  CV  of  3V  to  the
same  input  (on  a  1V/Oct
keyboard  play  a  note  three
octaves  higher  than  before),
select "Apply 3V to Sample pitch
input", and then press SELECT.

The RS290 is now calibrated.

Apply 0V to assign

Upgrade firmware

This  option  allows  you  to
upgrade the firmware that lies at
the heart of the RS290.

If  you  answer  "Yes",  the  device
will show:

Waiting for data...

If you are unable to present the
new software to the MIDI Input
on  the  RS295  Delay  Expander,
the RS290 will lock up.

DO NOT WORRY.

Switch off the RS290, wait a few
seconds, and switch on again. It
will then function as before.
