“Hidden” Functions

The term “hidden function” has an air of mystery and secrecy about it, but it

simply refers to commands that are rarely used and don’t warrant dedicated

buttons or menu items.

Calibration Routine

—Mopho x4’s calibration routine should not be confused

with the autotune function on vintage polysynths with VCOs. Mopho x4’s

DCOs don’t go out of tune (unless they’re programmed to). The calibration

routine sets the waveshape symmetry and calibrates the low-pass filters.

Generally speaking, this is a “set and forget” function. In other words, once the

calibration has been run, it doesn’t need to be run again. But, if you suspect

there may be a problem with your synth, try running the calibration routine. It’s

probably one of the first things DSI technical support will ask you to do if you

contact them.

To run the calibration routine, hold C

OMPARE

and press the Oscillators S

HAPE

button. The display will show the progress and prompt you to restart Mopho x4

when calibration is complete.

Copy Factory Banks to User Banks

—To restore Mopho x4’s program banks

to their initial state, in which the user banks are simply a copy of the factory

banks, hold C

OMPARE

and press 4

P

OLE

. Be aware this this will overwrite any

custom programs in the user banks, so if those programs are not backed up, they

will be lost!

To completely reinitialize the synth’s settings, use Reset Globals in the Globals

menu in addition to copying the factory banks to the user banks.
