    I'm having problems with the tuning on the clarinet patches (basic and perf-leg), consistently under compared to say Flute or EHorn. I've re-installed to see if that would cure the problem but no dice. I also double checked the quick edit in case I bumped the tuning but it is still set at 0ct.

    Is this the nature of the beast?

    Must be something wrong somewhere, as I've found all the woodwinds to be wonderfully in tune, yet not too sterile. I use the clarinet in Opus I quite a bit, as well as the E flat Clar. in the French Oboe library, and tuning is fine. Anybody else have any ideas?

    Hi,

    the tuning should be perfectly fine with all instruments. Is it just these articulations or others, too?

    Could you give an example of two notes with other instruments?

    It was happening with the Basic_all and with the perf_leg mf instruments. As it was happening with these instruments (the ones I would most likely use) I didn't check the others. I can put together an mp3 of what I'm hearing against, say harp or Eng Horn and make it available first thing Monday.

    Thanks for you responses

    Can I send you mp3s offline?

    It's almost too embarassing to report...deep down I was afraid that this had to be a user error but then again I thought I'd checked everything.

    Anyway, after testing against other woodwinds before, as a final test I laid in a different clarinet articulation to play parallel with the clarinet basic instrument which I believed to be out of tune. The new clarinet played perfectly in tune.

    Only then did I realise I had managed somehow to move the Giga tuning slider value to 0.30 [*-)] I had checked quickedit tuning but not this. Thanks to hoff and paul for the posts.

    If there was a 'self-flagellating' emoticon I would use several in my signature... [8-)]
