CLARAVOX PITCH JUMPING ISSUE

I've developed a problem with my Claravox where it will randomly start pitch jumping, as if I have a strange quantization setting, when I don't have any quantization on. The issue happens randomly and intermittently. I've tried plugging it in in multiple locations/buildings and reset the theremin through the app but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a factory reset for the Claravox? The reset options on the editor don't seem to be a factory reset. I am playing the theremin in modern mode.

A poor earth ground will create a similar effect. Pound in your own 2 meter copper rod outside in a damp flower bed and bring the connecting wire in through a window. A second choice is connect to a metal water pipe.

     I have noticed my Claravox seems to throw a random note occasionally while warming up.  Only on a few occasions.
Anyone with Claravox, I have another question.  Both antenna don’t lock into place just resting in place.  Also the pitch antenna kind leans away from player, very slightly. Is this unique or typical?
     Has anyone found a good violin sound for Claravox?  Any other cool sounds?
Also, has anyone connected a Claravox to a Korg Miniloge?
Thanks everyone.

I had the same problem with mine.  I had other issues with it as well. The only mode that seemed to be stable to me was the modern mode. I have been intending to sell it but I feel it would be morally wrong to do so and pass the problem on to someone else. I got mine over a year ago and only used it for about a month. The theremin has a tranquil effect but the BewareaBox was making me angry instead.  What a waste.

     I really like my Claravox.  I know it has many imperfections but I really enjoy mine and love some of the sounds it has produced.
I would love to take yours off your hands if you would trade,(Sitar, accordion, guitar,singing bowl,etc). You wouldn’t have to feel guilt because I know what I’m getting and would love a second Claravox.  If I had a EtherwavePro and the other great Theremins you own I probably wouldn’t play the Claravox as much either.  I’m enjoying playing my Claravox with its flaws.
Thanks

Downsizing collection myself but could always use another theremin.
 Thanks again...
