A factory assembled module is shipped tuned to 1 V/oct. However, sometimes you may want to
make your own calibration.
The tuning procedure is an iteration of successive approximations. We will try in each iteration to
get closer to a perfect tune. Just follow the next steps and your Kickall will be ready to go in a
few minutes.
1 -
Turn the knobs to the following position:
TUNE:
Center
BEND
and
TIME:
Minimum (counterclockwise)
DECAY:
Maximum (slider upper position)
SHAPE:
Maximum (fully clockwise)
2 -
Feed the
TRIG
input with a
very fast trigger
signal (a square signal from an oscillator can
work too)
3 -
Plug a
V/Oct signal from a well calibrated CV source
like a sequencer or a keyboard into
the
TUNE
input and connect the
OUT of the module to a tuner
.
Note: if you don't have a hardware tuner you can connect the module to your audio interface and
use a software tuner as well.
4 -
Send a voltage of
0V from your CV source
and check the tuner, adjuts the
TUNE
knob till
your tuner shows
C1
note. Be patience on this step, on the low frequency range is a bit harder to
be precise.
5 -
Send a voltage of
4V from your CV source
and check the tuner, adjuts the
ZZZ
trimmer
located on the upper part of the module (the little blue one) with a small flat screw driver till
your tuner shows you a
C5
note.
6 -
Now send again a
0V
voltage and check the tuner.
You will notice that it is not showing
you the C1 note that we adjust before but we are closer than the first time. Let's repeat
steps 4 and 5 till we get C1 and C5 in both.
Once this is done, send other notes from the CV source and check the tuner, to make sure the
whole range is tracking. If not, repeat steps 4 and 5 again till you get it.
