It may be that your synth is slightly out of tune, so it will be necessary to adjust the 

MODULAR SOLO

 

to  compensate  for  the  tuning  of  your  synth. 

NEVER

  use  the  trimmers  on  the  PC  board  for  tuning, 

these are for factory setup ONLY. 

 

1,

  Firstly,  ensure  that  your  analogue  synth  is  as  in-tune  as  possible  when  playing  from  its  own 

keyboard. Do this by adjusting the tuning or pitch knob on your analogue synth whilst playing middle C 
on both this and your master keyboard (or whatever you use for tuning reference). To do this, you may 
need to disconnect the analogue synth from the 

MODULAR SOLO

2,

  Connect  the  converter  to  your  analogue  synth  and  MIDI  system.  Check  the 

MODULAR  SOLO

  is 

switched  to  the  correct  scaling  system,  Hz/V  for  Korg  and  Yamaha,  or  V/oct  for  anything  else  (see 
Editing  Parameters  section).  Set  transpose  to  zero.  Now  press  bottom  C  (MIDI  note  #36)  on  your 
digital synth. Both synths should sound, don’t worry at this stage if they are not in tune. 
 

3,

  Using  bottom  C  (MIDI  note  #36)  as  a  reference  (you  must  use  this  note  for  maximum  accuracy) 

tune  in  the

  MODULAR  SOLO

  with your  analogue  synth by  adjusting  the  parameter 

FINE  TUNE

  and

 

TRANSPOSE 

if necessary (see Editing Parameters section) until it is exactly in tune.  

 

4,

 When your digital & analogue synths are in tune at the bottom , play middle C, two octaves up on 

your  digital  synth.  (MIDI  note  #60).    Now  adjust  the 

SCALE

  parameter  (see  Editing  Parameters 

section)  until  both  synths  are  in  tune.  The  analogue  synt

h  should  now  play  correctly  across  it’s 

complete range from your master keyboard, if this is still not the case go back to step 3 and repeat the 
process for final tweaking.  

 
 
 

      

1-

 

Make sure all cable connections have been made. 

 

 

 

 

2

Set MIDI receive channel you wish to use. 

 

 

 

 

 

3-

 

Make sur

e you have set the GATE output correctly to either ‘Gate’  

 

or ‘S-Trig’ type triggers.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4-

 

Make sure you have set the CV output correctly to either ‘V/oct’  

 

or ‘Hz/V’. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5

 -  

You may wish to adjust the AUX, or any other settings to those that 

 

work best for your set-up. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

Some  combinations  of  buttons  can  be  pressed  at  power  up  to  adjust  settings  or  enter  other 
operational modes. First ensure the power switch is off, press the required button or buttons, then turn 
the power switch on. The various modes are described below. 
 
SEL only  

 

– Enters MIDI analyser mode [displays ANL] described on the next page (17) 

DEC only  

 

– not used 

INC only  

 

– Displays the firmware revision number, described below 

SEL & DEC & INC 

– Reset to factory defaults [displays Fd] – described on page 10

     

 
Firmware revision display: 

 
While  the 

INC

  button  is  held,  the  firmware  revision  number  [1xxx]  will  be  displayed  in  pairs 

–  two 

dashes then digits 1 & 2 then digits 3 & 4 repeated. Releasing the INC button will revert to the normal 
operational mode.
