[A6] Tuning

Well, there's *something* that happens during a hard reset (which is 
soft button three), or if you boot up with Soft Button 4 or Soft Button 
5.  See page 269 of the 1.40 manual.

It says soft button 4 "initializes all global parameters, including 
tuning tables", and it says soft button 5 "re-calibrates mod wheel and 
ribbon controller".  IIRC, soft button 3 not only restores the default 
programs, it also includes the functions of buttons 4 and 5.

Also, Dave, are you running OS 1.40.12?  Is temperature tuning on?  Is 
background tuning on? (I asked the last two before but no response).

Unless you really care about the programs in the user bank (in which 
case you should back them up anyway), a hard reset isn't going to do any 
harm.  Maybe what's wrong is not the tuning process itself, but some 
global parameter that got screwed that affects the tuning process (which 
works with Jeff's statement above).

Let us know if you still have all these problems with OS 1.40.12, 
temperature tuning on, background tuning on, and after a hard reset 
(hold soft button 3 at power up), or soft button 4 and then 5 at power 
up (two resets).  Hold down soft button 7 at power up to see your 
current OS.  I was having problems with a "broken" ribbon controller 
(you probably saw that on the list), and an OS upgrade and hard reset 
fixed everything.

Cheers,
Chris
