why does the pitch range stop?
why does the pitch range stop?
The pitch range stops for me at C4. Why does it do this? It doesn't seem to go as high as a lot of 303 tracks I've heard.

Hi,
According to original 303 manual, CV (control voltage) is about 1 to 5 Volts, with 1 Volt range octave per octave. That means with all modification You can do to the pattern original 303 can play 4 octaves, because of some slight inaccuracy of tune potentiometer, it can be even 4.5 octave. So You're right. Phoscyon's tonal range is 4 octaves long.
The impression of very high pitch can be also achieved through some types of distortions, that distrots signal a lot, adding many higher harmonics, that they dominate in spectrum.
In a sum You're right
. Jacek (DSP guy) in a next edition of Phoscyon (2.x) is going to replace fine tune knob with tunning (with +/- 1 octave range) - many our customers were asking for that. So, You'll be able to get even higher range than original 303.
Best regards,
Sebastian
