Hello there, I’m trying to tune an external VCO with ES-3 and Tunathor, with this particular VCO however Thunathor gets stuck in the higher frequencies (between D6 and G7) and it doesn’t give me a mapped out.
Trying to troubleshoot this, what could be the reason? This particular VCO is not the stablest and drifts a bit, could this be the problem?
have you tried other tuners?
I find Thunator is working somehow strange,
maybe you can put an issue on Nysthis github.
yesterday TUNATHOR (with an ES-9) let me play an old “MFOS mini synth” which I used to play only for my awful terror drones…its oscillator is very unstable but its range goes far from what we can hear (and also has VERY nice oscillators and a VERY nice filter), so it worked perfectly…
today I struggled to used it with my behringer K-2 because of the “range” problem. I had to use only vco 2 that reaches 2 feet, and set the “master tune” a little bit lower than normal because TUNATHOR was not able to “catch” the first frequency (around 32Hz).
then I had to offset of 1V the CV (Calibration Volt Out —> + 1V —> ES-9) and started the procedure.
to find out the range I used the “fast octave mode”, and once I figured out that it can tune it from the bottom to the top I restarted it on the “semitone” mode
I thinkg TUNATHOR looks for the range between C1 and C7, so, if the oscillator can’t reach 30-4200Hz it stops working
with this I also say a big THANK YOU to @synthi 
were you able to use it or not (tunathor) ? (thank you!)
yes I was, it’s been a little bit tricky but finally I did it. 
I mean, if you have an oscillator that has a very wide range and goes out of tune TUNATHOR is perfect, but if your oscillator covers a narrower range it’s impossible to use it (as it is now).
If the user could set the “range” every problem would disappear 
thank you for the feedback you are right as I never used it in the HW world I missed completely the point you are describing!
Can you open a feature request on my github issues ? (so I won’t forget when this DARK mood afflicting me goes away 
)

Sorry for the late reply, no I was not able to use…I tried a billion times but it always gets stuck when doing the range sweep higher up.
From what I remember the VCO in question has a decent range, not sure if super extended but like Alessandro far beyond my hearing
perfect, it’s a reminder
grazie 
I’m a Synthi aficionado but which other tuners would you recommend? thank you 
tunathor is not a TUNER! it’s an helper for people using Hardware and VCV together
If you have any problem with your VCV <-> Hardware setup you can try with the Expert Sleepers modules : they are the KING of these situations ! 
if you need a common tuner you can use HOTTUNA and GRANTUNISMO
Sorry Antonio I know, I was replying rsmus7…but regardless, I think we all understood what he meant and what I meant …
Yes I know about Expert Sleepers, but I was doing some troubleshooting and actually thought/think that the problem might be in my VCO more than Tunathor. And I think this kind of real world feedback can be useful to you, no?
For example by looking at the intellijel Dixie2+ which has selectable range, it came to my mind how could that work with Tunathor…
Having said that, long live Synthi, probably my favourite VCV developer
100% I need feedbacks! Thank you !
