If the TEO-5 is behaving erratically:
• This is almost always caused by a MIDI feedback loop. Make sure that
any MIDI Thru functionality is turned off on the MIDI interface/hard-
ware or in the MIDI software application. Disconnect all TEO-5 MIDI
connections (MIDI and USB cables) and see if the problem persists.
You can also monitor the MIDI trafc with MIDI Monitor (Mac OS)
or MIDI-OX (Windows) to see if the TEO-5 is being overrun with
duplicate messages.
If the TEO-5 doesn’t seem to respond to its controls:
• Make sure local control is on in the global menu.
If MIDI System Exclusive data is not transmitted/received:
• Make sure that the midi sysex cable setting in the global menu is set
to usb or midi depending on which you are using to transmit or receive
MIDI messages.
If the TEO-5 plays out of tune:
• Check the master coarse and master fine parameter in the global
menu to make sure they are both set to 0.
• You may need to recalibrate the oscillators. See “Calibrating the VCOs
and Filters” on page 73.
If the pitch or Mod wheel doesn’t go to full range:
• Recalibrate the Pitch and Mod wheels. See “Calibrating the Pitch and
Mod Wheels” on page 73.
If the lter sounds strange or out of tune:
• You may need to recalibrate the oscillators and lters. See “Calibrating
the VCOs and Filters” on page 73.
