Appendix D: Calibrating the TEO-5
The TEO-5 is calibrated at the factory, and controls such as the Pitch and
Mod wheels, VCOs and VCFs usually won’t require re-calibration. But if
you experience unexpected behavior with these controls, you can use the
calibration function to tune them occasionally. You may also need to add
more calibrations to cover the operating temperature range of the instru-
ment to accommodate your studio environment, or high ambient heat
under stage lights, for example. You may nd that you need to run a few
calibrations to stabilize the TEO-5’s tuning.
Calibrating the VCOs and Filters
To calibrate the VCOs and lters:
1. Press the global button.
2. Use the select knob to select cal voices, then press write.
3. The synthesizer performs its auto-calibration procedure.
4. When nished, the front panel controls will return to normal.
Calibrating the Pitch and Mod Wheels
To calibrate the Pitch and Mod wheels:
1. Press the global button.
2. Use the select knob to select cal wheels, then follow the instructions in
the display.
3. When nished, press the global button again to exit the global menu.
Resetting the Global Parameters
If you’re trying to track down a problem, it’s sometimes a good idea to
reset the Global parameters to their defaults. This is a quick way to make
sure that the TEO-5 returns to its factory settings.
To reset all Global parameters to their default settings:
1. Press the global button.
2. Use the select knob to select reset globals, then press write. Globals are
reset. You can now can play the TEO-5 again.
