[A6] Tuning

[Dave Scrimenti]

When I first turn it on it's always way out of tune. This is not the case
with my Oberheim Xpander. I can turn that on after not using it for weeks
and it's still in tune. Even when I autotune it doesn't work. The only way I
can use it is to let it run for about 30 minutes before I start playing. At
that point, it's in tune, and stays in tune. I'm going to sen it to Alesis,
but I have the feeling they're going to try to tell me there's nothing
wrong. I know of one guy who sold his A6 because it wouldn't stay     in
tune. By the way, that waiting a half hour thing I do was suggested to me by
a tech at Alesis. That's why I'm not to optimistic about them fixing it.
