This might be a rare occassion and most of the times you will want the DIP 1 set to on. Nontheless, if
you have to do it, let the unit warm up for 20 minutes, and then you can turn the DIP 1 off, with confi-
dence that the Oscillators are in tune.
AUTOTUNING TROUBLESHOOT
The Oscillators cannot stay in tune:
Make sure that the synthesizer is not affected by any heating elements (a/c, radiator, etc.) and that it is
generally in a temperature stable environment. Have in mind that the Nyx V2 is an analog synthesizer
with the pros and cons that comes with it. Also check that the DIP1 is ON or that before setting it to the
OFF position, the unit has been warmed up, as described above.
I can hear the Autotuning on the background:
It has been observed that the Nyx V2, sometimes, when it is connected to other devices that add a gain
element to its output and not directly to a monitor, may create a ground loop. This will cause the Auto-
tuning procedure to be audible at about -70dB. You can negate this, by setting the Nyx V2 AMP level at
max and control the volume of the synthesizer from the connected device. Additionally, you can allow
the unit to warm up for 20 minutes and then set the DIP1 to the OFF position.

Service Mode / Fine Tuning Procedure
In order to tune the Nyx V2 synthesizer, a MIDI keyboard, a pair of speakers and a tuner is needed. Con-
nect everything and turn the unit on for at least 30 minutes on Autotune Mode (DIP1 ON).
1. Set both Tune potentiometers to center position (50%)
2. Set VCO routing at VCA
3. Set all modulations, modulators, filter and effects at 0%.
4. Set VCA HOLD and LEVEL to 100%.
5. Turn on the DIP 6 and restart the synth by toggling the power switch. A LED will start blinking under OSC2 Tune.
6. Toggle 5 times the Drone switch of the AMP and the LED will make a fast flashing sequence and then
becomes stable. Toggle 5 times more this switch and the LED will start flashing fast. After 30 seconds
or more the flashing speed will be decreased. The synth now is ready to start the auto-tune procedure.
On this mode Glide sliders are repurposed as finetune controls.
7. Turn OSC1 level to 100% from the mixer.
8. On the MIDI keyboard press and hold A0 and with the Glide slider set the tune to match that note.
9. Set OSC2 level to 100% and set the glide slider to that note so no beating occurs.
10. Set OSC2 level to 0% and let the key.
11. Repeat steps (8,9,10) for A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6 respectively.
12. When A6 is tuned turn DIP6 to off position and restart the synth.
ATTENTION!
Each time you release a key, for example if you press A2 and then release it, it will automatically store
your current Glide (FineTune) settings for both oscillators for the octave C0-C7. Be careful so as not to
accidentally hit any other key than the ones noted in the procedure above. If you do so you must repeat
the whole process from the beginning. Be sure to follow it exactly as described.
