AFAIK there is no light that blinks when reaching the perfect 5th Smile

Using your ears, sorry, or something which gives the pitch of the fifth, and just fiddle...
No, better to make a Morpf: assign to the SemiTone and make a range from the first blink to the second blink. (one octave) Now you are able to set the semi tones by the wheel. This ins much more acurate. Than adjust using the FineTune

You can set the SemiTone also using it's own knob, which is a little more delicate than using the Wheel. Use [Shift+LFOwave form] to read the value in the display. You cant use the LCD reading out for the Wheel, because you need to know what it would be on the SemiTone. Do the same when adjusting the FineTune...


And save, of course Smile

No, it shows a figure of the value set by the knob you are using at the moment, which is rather nice when you want to set parameters to the same value, like the AmpEnv and FilterEnv or the Rate of the two LFO's. Also very handy when you want to set it to a known value. Beware, as soon as you tweak a knob the value jumps to the position the knob is at that moment.

You want to set Osc2 in a perfect fifth to Osc1, as I understand you question. The SemiTone knob is divided into 12 steps, but that doesn't mean the seventh step up is the 'perfect' fifth. Maybe you have to adjust using FineTune. When using the [Shift+LFO1wave form] you see the value in the LCD and you can write it down to remember, so the next time to set it you know what to do. It is just an advice, no command Wink
