The Behringer 305 module is my favorite eurorack module. If I lost everything and had to start again I would get this one first. It has an amazing list of fantastic features all in one module:<\/p>\n

4 inputs with level and pan
\n4 Band Parametric EQ
\n1\/4 inch outputs
\nMaster Volume Control
\nStandard Oscillator (A 440) for tuning<\/p>\n

I can’t understand why ANY musical instrument would have a 3.4mm output jack! It makes no sense at all (I’m looking at YOU, Korg!!) so this module is absolutely the most important one to own, in my opinion!<\/p>\n

HOWEVER…. one day I recorded something and noticed it was not in tune with everything else. After comparing the standard oscillator to the A440 oscillator in my Minimoog I realized it wasn’t in tune! That really kills it’s usefulness. <\/p>\n

I searched around the internet and only found other people asking the same question: How do you tune the standard oscillator in the behringer 305 module?” So finally I pulled the module out and it’s actually very simple and obvious. There’s a blue multi-turn pot right beside the oscillator switch.<\/p>\n

Get out a tuner, or use another very reliable source, get a small screwdriver and just turn the screw until it’s in tune. It might take several turns since it is a very fine tuning pot but, at least in my case, I was able to tune it.<\/p>\n

Just make sure you let it warm up for 15 minutes first.<\/p>\n

However… I checked it again the next day after I had left it all turned on for over an hour and it was significantly sharp again. So I tuned it again but this time I turned the screw all the way to the end and still couldn’t get it perfectly in tune. It’s still just a tiny bit sharp (3 or 4 cents maybe), close enough I guess, but it would be nice if I could bring it down a tiny bit more. I also tested it the next day and found that when I turn the system on the oscillator is well below 440 and needed about 10-15 minutes to come up to pitch. It’s a bit disappointing but I still love the module otherwise.<\/p>\n
