Build quality pitchbend

Post by tr1tonus »

this sucks...When I play a lead sound and press the pitchbend hard to the left side (down) and realease it doesen't always come back exactly in tune but some cents tuned down...so I have to touch it again for the right tuning...WTF? This is a new instrument, is the pitchbend spring to weak?

Hi... I've just used my FA-06 and done some hard pitch bending (down) and I'm sorry to say that my machine is coming back perfectly to pitch for the moment. I'm pretty aggressive with it and I've been using it for three weeks or so now. Looks like you may have a faulty unit. Damn!

Seems to be a software problem.
After resetting my FA08 it works quite well untill I change the Pitchbendrange down to 12"
