Mine isn't pitchy at all. If it is still out of tune after running the auto calibration, I would contact Moog.

It's a true analogue synth, so if you've turned it on cold, it will take about 10-15
minutes to warm up. It may waver slightly if the temperature varies a lot.

The LP has a calibration feature. I found running the calibrate after I've left it off
for a while (ie a day or so) helps to keep it in tune.

I have noticed sometimes a transpose when in Logic, but it seems to be a note on/off
reset thing and I think I fixed it with a Logic setting.

yeah it does need to warm up, but my moog phatty only takes a few minutes...
less than 5 here.

You can also individually tune each key. I think you can tune C0 and C6 separately, and have the Moog then interpolate between them for the rest of the notes.

I sold my phatty, but I had a squealing note which I needed to manually retune. C2 was jacked.

Email Moog, they immediately told me what to do.
