A very clever, efficient solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a tuner, CalTrans corrects the *CV characteristic curve*, which is crucial for oscillators exhibiting non-linear tracking behavior; it's about more than just hitting a fixed pitch.
While it corrects tracking issues, it’s not a substitute for a broken oscillator. It works best when oscillators are *close* to being in tune initially.
The control is quite precise, allowing for nuanced portamento and glissando effects, adjustable in seconds to create subtle or dramatic transitions.
