That did not work. All slots are pitched together with the bender, even if other slots are deselected and you can‘t store the pitched pitch as well.

I really don‘t get around the fact, that there is no way to change the pitch of a whole synthesizer slot, because in reality, you have complete 4 synths in one machine. If you use chorus or flanger fx for detune, it gets way to messy because you can‘t set dry/wet. The unison isn‘t perfect either, you can‘t use it for subtle detunings between slots.

If you could set vibrato speed to zero and put initial the amount between zero and 50 cent, that would be a nice workaround. But vibrato speed can‘t be set lower than 4 Hz. Any other ideas?

In thecsystem setting there is in fact a fine tune option +/- 50 cent. That would be perfect, is there a way to store this parameter seperately to a slot in performance mode? I tried it, but again, it affects all 4 synth slots together.

Best idea I have so far is shift and osc ctrl to add pitch change for every osc configuration. But I think this would request an extra OS update.

Sorry for the many posts. I am a big step further. I can set the bend range slightly different in each slot and if I use the pitchwheel just a bit, it gives me a pleasant detune between the slots!!

Just the question how to “snapshot“ and save the pitchstick position? Velocity morph works only with turning knobs on the A1, not moving the bender.

I apologize if I have kicked off an exercise in frustration. :)

Any chances from Nord regarding a little update for the A1, something like Os 1.36 (added: slot detune) ? The whole synth would benefit so much from it.
