My Virus is a half step sharp...help!

  • I've tried everything...reinstalling the software/firmware, changing the midi clock settings, changing the frequency from 44 to 48 and back. Stand alone and VST it's still a perfect half step sharp. Anyone else have this problem? Any other ideas?

  • If in multi or sequencer mode, the part has its own transposition setting.
    That could be off...

  • Shut it down, disconnect the USB cable, power back up and see if it plays in tune.


    Assume you already checked the obvious global transpose settings.

  • Thanks guys. Yes I've tried the global transpose settings, shutting down and rebooting, reinstalling different firmware updates...
    I'm interested in what oilAtBass means. I'll explore those settings...

  • I had a Casio back in the day with a tuning knob on the back panel...We need one for the Virus!
    BTW I noticed the Global tuning only goes up and down a 1/4 step...not even a whole note...My tuner shows it going in between.

  • Are you comparing the pitch of the virus to other syths and reference recordings or just to your tuner? If the latter, your tuner could be offset...
