Thanks Florian,

I won't mess with anything!Apparently i was running the previous firmware and upon updating to the latest firmware the tone actually seems to be better. My initial reaction was triggered by a friend with synesthisia. They noticed that the colour of sound produced by the 3P was not as full and bright as it was before, being one of her favorite sound sources. Is this possible?

I know this is a far off diagnosic, but could perhaps provide some insight into future updates. This upgrade is incredible, and I did not mean to undermine any of Murray's fantastic work! Thank you so much!!

Best Regards, Quentin

I assume my board was factory tuned with an oscilloscope and might need to be adjusted now? If i use the DCO 2 fine tune to lock in there is still some phasing and it has to be timed with the slider perfectly, still then it goes out of phase eventually.
