OP-Z out of tune?

OP-Z
#1

Hi!
When jamming with friends I noticed that my OP-Z is about a semi-tone out of key! I have no idea how this happend and don’t know how to restore it. I hope there’s a way without doing a factory reset. Anybody had the same problem and maybe know a solution?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hey, Have you checked that it affects all the presets? You may have an LFO affecting the pitch on one of your patches.

This is weird. I came on here because two on my tracks are out of tune - one by a minor third, and the other by a fifth. Both are piano samples I’ve loaded onto synth tracks, and both are samples tuned to C concert. Neither of them have any modulation or FX applied. I’m stumped!

#4

Maybe wrong sample rate?

#5

No, they’re all 44.1 16bit.
It’s so odd that they are different intervals.

totes a shot in the dark
but in the metadata of the .aiff sound files for the synth sampler
i believe there is a parameter for root note
maybe this got set to something incorrect
which is causing the sample tuning to not line up correctly?

#7

Yeah, that sounds more likely.
It would explain why it’s an actual interval, rather than just out of tune.
I’ll try loading a different sample in the same slot. If it’s out by the same amount, that would be a likely explanation, right?

i wouldn’t think so, the root note parameter is self contained within each .aiff file
so in theory it could be different for every synth sample u have.

edit :: doing a lil more digging the root note param is actually base freq and takes a Hz value

u could try this site

and reload your synth sampler patch in here with the correct root note
and see if that solves it

Great. I’ll give that a shot.
Out of interest, the out of tune sounds are piano sounds. Maybe someone has a recommendation of piano sounds for OP-Z?
I’m using these three pianos
Felt Piano is a 4th higher than concert

JAZZ_PIANO is ok

Bechstein_piano is a major 6th too high

Hello! I have the same problem.

I´ve tried to tune it in Ableton, and resend to OP-Z , but the sound doesn´t works (no sound at all) by this way.

Did you find the way to fix it ?

Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

I´ve finally solved the issue.

For my sounds out of tune (Downloaded in op1fun) I´ve retuned them in Ableton. Then I export them in aiff.

Finally I use Audacity to assure 4 points :

  1. They are <= 6 sec long
  2. They are in 44kHz
  3. They are in 16 bits
  4. They are .aiff

And this is working for everysingle sound now.

Hope it helps!
