How to calibrate the keyboard pitch range?

[svmcwd]

As we all know, Arturia does a bad job at calibrating the Minibrute and also a bad job at replying to support questions (my new support tickets even seem to get deleted immidiately by now, at least I can't see any of them listed)...

So I ask the experienced users of you: how to calibrate the keyboard range of the Minibrute? Which one of the screws in the back was the correct one?

I remember roughly seeing some detailed description to it, but I can't find it anymore...

thanks! that's what i've been looking for

Done the calibrating now, and figured while having a really huge calibration range with multi-turn resistor, it is really hard to keep the screw at the perfect pitch point when removing the screwdriver. Am I doing something wrong or is it really that sensitive?

Right now it's ok from middle C to highest C, but off when going down to the lowest C. Did I turn the screw too far in one direction or something? Is there any trick to it?

Something is screwy about this.

you can use this procedure. maybe not the fastest one, but it works
But indeed it's a sensitive setting.

Thanks! Could you make all the technotes public for anyone sorted in a single list? Some of them seem pretty essential and although it is great to get personal support here the full access to all known and relevant issues could avoid a lot of dissactifaction.

thanks for the feedback, I will propose the idea.

I created this Video Tutorial on this question, it's in french but I see a lot of video in english and I often understand the essential to know, so I hope all of you will catch the essential, so, here it is :

Thanks, very good explained, even for people who can't speak french!

PS already following you on Youtube for your previous videos about the Minibrute hehe

may i wrap some piece of a plastic bag around my metal screwdriver, if i have no plastic screwdriver or does this will damage the unit?

/edit

i just carved a wooden toothpick and it worked very well

That'd be a great idea!  I've seen TECHNOTES 1, 3, 4, & 7 being attached here on the forum, but indeed it'd be of use to have a look at the other ones as well.  Would be much appreciated.

Thanks
