4. Adjustment

The XR22 VCO FT is already carefully adjusted, no further 

calibrations should be needed; for better understanding or in
the case of unintended detuning, here is an overview of the 
adjustment control elements:

 1V/Octave Adjustment

The VCO is already carefully adjusted to 1V/Oct. If you 
realize that the XR22 VCO FT isn't in tune with your other 
analog synthesizer equipment, it may be necessary to 
adjust it.

Procedure

 (Suggestion):

1.

 Put range switch   in mid position 'Mid'. Adjust F1 &
F2 knobs    &   to ≈ middle position (≈ 4,5 on scale
or ≈80Hz)

2.

Connect a CV from a keyboard (or a similar CV 
source) both to your favorite VCO's 1V/oct. input and
to the XR22 VCO F1/com 1V/oct. input   . Put switch

 in upper 

position ("F1").

3.

Play a note on your keyboard in the middle range, e.g. "c", or "c1". The note should be nearby to 
the tone you have adjusted on the XR22 VCO.

4.

Adjust poti "F1"   and fine tuning   until the pitch of the XR22 is the same like that of  the 2

VCO.

5.

Play a note ≈ 3 octaves higher. Adjust trimmer "F1 1V/oct" (see above) until the XR22 VCO is 
tracking to the 2

nd

 VCO.

6.

Go back to step "4" and repeat all other steps until both oscillators are in tune.

7.

Repeat the same procedure with "F2" (with "FSK"

tuning and adjustment steps 1.- 8. until both frequencies are perfectly matching and in tune 
with the external keyboard/VCO. 

Bus CV

Jumper "JP1" in "on" position (on PCB): The Bus CV (if in use) of the 16pol Header is controlling 
the XR22 VCO's frequencies.

Jumper "JP1" in "off" position (on PCB): The Bus CV is not connected.
