If you wish to reset your PRO-SOLO, you can do so by turning the unit on whilst holding down
all three push buttons. This will return the SOLO`s settings to default values. `Fd` (factory
defaults) will momentarily be displayed when this has been done.

It may be that your synth is slightly out of tune, so it will be necessary to tune the PRO-SOLO to
your synth.

1, Firstly, ensure that your analogue synth is in tune when playing from its own keyboard. Do
this by adjusting the tuning or pitch knob on your analogue synth whilst playing middle C on
both this and your master keyboard (or whatever you use for tuning reference). To do this, you
may need to disconnect the analogue synth from the PRO-SOLO.

2, Connect the converter to your analogue synth and MIDI system. Check the PRO-SOLO is
switched to the correct scaling system, Hz/V for Korg and Yamaha, or V/oct for anything else
(see Editing Parameters section). Set transpose to zero. Now press bottom C (MIDI note #36)
on your digital synth. Both synths should sound, don’t worry at this stage if they are not in tune.

3, Using bottom C (MIDI note #36) as a reference (you must use this note for maximum
accuracy) tune in the PRO-SOLO with your analogue synth by adjusting the parameter FINE
TUNE and TRANSPOSE if necessary (see Editing Parameters section) until it is exactly in tune.

4, When your digital & analogue synths are in tune at the bottom , play middle C, two
octaves up on your digital synth. (MIDI note #60). Now adjust the SCALE parameter (see
Editing Parameters section) until both synths are in tune. The analogue synth should now play
correctly across it’s complete range from your master keyboard, if this is still not the case go
back to step 3 and repeat the process for final tweaking.

Make sure all cable connections have been made.
