Make sure your CRAVE has been powered on for at least 1 hour, and that it is in a place where the temperature will not
change drastically while performing the calibration.
Follow all steps in the order in which they are presented.
Calibration Procedures
Synthesizers and Samplers
CRAVE
page 3 of 6page 3 of 6
Adjust OSC OFFSET trimmer until the pitch is 440Hz (A4). Note that a pitch within 2 to 3 cents of the target frequency
should be ne. If the VCO pitch is still not correct after the adjustment is nished, you can calibrate the KB CV and
adjust it again as shown in the procedures above.
Set the keyboard octave to 6 and press “STEP6” key.
Adjust the panel OSC SCALE trimmer until the pitch is 880Hz (A5). Note that a pitch within 2 to 3 cents of the target
frequency should be ne.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 until output frequency is correct.
OSC OFFSET
Set the keyboard octave to 5 and press “STEP6” key.
Set the FREQUENCY control precisely to the center position.
Adjust the panel FREQUENCY control or OSC OFFSET trimmer until the pitch is 110Hz (A2). Note that a pitch within
2 to 3 cents of the target frequency should be ne; (OSC OFFSET trimmer and OSC SCALE trimmer location shown
in Figure 2).

Press “RESET/ACCENT” to select test mode B.
Press “KYBD” or “STEP” to adjust the value until it close to target level “0 V” (±1 mV).
Press “ARP/SETEND” to select test mode C.
Press “KYBD” or “STEP” to adjust the value until it close to target level “5 V” (±1 mV).
Press “REC” to save and nish CV calibration.
Calibration done, power o the CRAVE.
