that makes sense, as there is nothing connected to the CV in of the Time - if i were controlling the Time by CV instead of MIDI things would probably line up fine. in any case, as i said in the other message i found a way to use the offset to my advantage.

Maybe it has to with the fact that there is no fixed assignment of CV
voltage to absolute pitch (i.e. there is no CV that is assigned to "F"). CV
is only relative with 1V/octave or 1/12V for each semitoen. The audible
pitch depends upon a lot of parameters, e.g. position of the tune controls,
octave switches, additional CVs applied to the VCO (via sockets at the front
panel or via A-100 bus) and the factory adjustment of the VCO. Our VCOs are
adjusted to "C" if the controls are in a neutral position but as fas as I
know other manufacturers adjust for "A".

Best wishes
