The 3rd osc will not scale....It's as flat as a pancake..

first, make sure you enable osc 3 keyboard control, which can be disabled to have the same lfo rate all over the keys if the 3rd osc is used as lfo... ;)

Keep in mind it could be a bad switch. I had a mini that had bad switches (some of them just switching it back and forth a bunch helped). Sometimes those switches can oxidize.

The switches are pretty awful and i will do a clean up of these..

All the voice boards are the same, I will change them around to see if it's just the board...

Hi sam. That's a damn nice synth. It is incumbent upon you to post pics of your setup! :)

Yes please... and if you do open it up, any chance of posting a piccy of it's innards in my synth guts pictures thread??

You simply click on upload attachments at the bottom of the edit post window, then browse for your file and then click on add file. You can then embed the piccy in your message once loaded. You might need to reduce the size of your picture by scaling it down in Paint etc before it will successfully load.
