Well since this calibration is for the VCO exponential fm input, the process requires an external CV source. We chose the Mother-32, but the idea is that you'd calibrate the Werkstatt to whatever external CV source you decide to use to control the Werkstatt in your studio.
If you're trying to calibrate the werkstatt using the arturia key step, use the midi control center, under CV/Gate settings you can choose the 0V note. Mine was set to -2C !
I realized, that there is the need to assemble the whole case before testing the tone pitch. Maybe there are some EMI problems at my setup. But anyway, the process takes more time, but it also works great for me, thank you!
When calibrating the new version of the Werkstatt with the Keystep, in the Keystep's Midi Control Center should the Gate CV Output be in S-Trig or V-Trig? Also, should the 0V Midi Note be changed from C-2? Thank you for any help you can provide!
Gate output should be V-trig. No need to change the 0v midi note, it really comes down to your preference, either way, you'll just want to use 0V for this calibration process, wherever it falls on your keyboard.
@@MoogSynthesizers Thank you for the reply! Ok, V-trig it is! The reason I was concerned with that as well as changing the 0V MIDI Note is because the only way I can find a key that doesn’t change pitch when I mess with the trimmer is by dropping the octave of the keyboard from 0 to -3 or -4...
I'm trying to do this with my Mavis but I cannot get it in tune no matter what I do. It's connected to a keystep and the 1V/oct trimpot VR18 does not adjust the pitch no matter what key I press on the Keystep. I've been trying to get this to work for hours now and I'm honestly about to just return it, this should not be this difficult to do.
@@MoogSynthesizers I’ve seen mods to implement your own dedicated Gate In for the old expander. Is there any advantage to this besides getting a separate i/o out of it? For example cleaner gate signals from one or the other, or is it unnecessary if you don’t care about sending gate in and out at the same time (for whatever reason)?
I'm using the Werkstatt-01 with the Arturia Beatstep Pro, but when I turn the VR5 I can't find any note where it doesn't move, I tried all the octaves. any suggestions?
It has to either be the lowest possible note if the sequencer is unipolar, or the exact middle note if the sequencer is bipolar, and it typically will fall on a C.
They offer different responses to control voltages. Exponential scaling is used for 1V/Oct signals, so say feeding 2V to the exponential input results in a C, that means the C an octave above will be 4V, and the one above that 8V, etc. With that in mind, if you fed an LFO that operates from -5V to +5V into the exponential CV input, you would get an asymmetrical response where the higher voltages have a stronger effect on the pitch modulation. That same LFO fed into the linear CV input would yield a symmetrical response where the lower and negative voltages have the same strength of modulation as the positive voltages.
Does each Werkstatt come with a Mother-32 to use as calibration reference? :D

@@MoogSynthesizers Just kidding! It would be awkward to fit in the box, don’t you think? :D
It's called upselling
Great tutorial! I'm all tuned up!

Thanks for the informative video...looking forward to getting things done on my Werkstatt
Thanks for this!! Got it all set up with my Matriarch! Sounds great!

I am using a Keystep 37 and I have MULTIPLE 0V C4 notes. Help.
I listened to this on full volume
What manner of instrument cable is that, plugged into the Werkstatt?
can't find the OV signal, every notes are affected by the trimmer, help please.
Thank You -- Love My WerkStatt... Looking forward to Mother.
Can I tune it with my arturia micro freak? And please how do I connect it to my micro freak

which input its the equivalent of "GATE IN" in the old version CV Expander?
You can use the 'Gate Out' on the old version as a 'Gate In', it operates both ways.

what if I do not have a mother32 ? I would assume the process should work with any analog synth that is able to output CV?
yes, you can use anything that outputs v/oct signals
Is the new CV Expander significantly different than the original one?
I think they wrote thet the new expander isnt compatible with the original werkstatt models
What iOS tuner was being used in this video??
It's Tuner Lite in the App Store.
@@MoogSynthesizers Thank you! I have been looking to match the exact tuner for a few weeks and could not find the same tuner screen. Much appreciated!

Is it possible to calibrate Werkstatt to 0.5v/oct? (That's what Volca Modular outputs) Is it possible to link Volca Modular to Werkstatt?
Not sure about the Volca Modular aspect, but it's certainly possible to calibrate the Werkstatt to different scalings like .5V/Oct
@@MoogSynthesizers Thank you so much!
