JTV – 89F virtual capo question

[bobwilken]

I have my 89f  physically tuned down 1 full step ... 

 

the preset alternate tunings seem to adjust to that just fine..

it appears that they orient themselves from wherever you have your guitar mechanically tuned.

which is awesome.

 

and that works just fine as long as I'm messing about in my own little world with my own tracks.

 

but in order to play along with anybody else or recordings in standard tuning ..

I need to have an alternate tuning that is tuned a whole step back up to standard pitch.

 

which I should be able to do quite easily with the virtual capo.

to move back up to standard pitch shouldn't i go to the virtual capo process

and play all 6 strings on the 14th ?

 

for some reason I have to go all the way up to the 16th fret to set it to standard pitch..

the nut of the virtual capo seems to be the 14th fret instead of the 12th fret.

 

and just to add insult to injury : it will not recognize more than one note at a time..

I have to go thru the whole save process for each note on each string individually ... 

instead of playing all six notes and then saving the entire setting.

if i do more than one , only the first note saves correctly ..

the rest go helter skelter .

and no matter what i do there is always a ghost note layered in...

each note sounds like 2 notes ( and not harmonically )

 

I have re-flashed the 2.1 firmware three times ...still the same thing.

has anyone else experienced this ...

i have not used workbench yet.. because I really haven't had the time to learn it ..

and from reading and watching some videos ...

it seems that i shouldn't need workbench just to use the virtual capo .

 

any ideas ?

Sounds like the Virtual Capo isn't designed to work correctly if the guitar isn't tuned to Std pitch.  Did you try doing it in Workbench?
