As was a trait of Model D's, the tuning on this unit can be unstable and unpredictable. Sometimes it will stay in tune for hours and play beautifully, other times it won't stay in tune for five minutes. I believe it has something to do with letting it warm up, which I would recommend doing for at least 20 minutes before playing. Switching between waveforms and/or octaves can also knock it out of tune sometimes.
The pitch wheel works, but adds a crackly noise to the sound when played. I suspect it just needs a good cleaning.The sound of Osc. 1 can become crackly when switching between the Sawtooth and Square waveforms. It will go away if you keep switching between waveforms, or if you just leave it on Sawtooth until the sound goes away.
I can't comment on the S-trig function as I don't have the proper cable for it nor have I ever used this feature.
Also included in this sale is a custom-made hard shell flight case."
