OASYS Headphone port and Main out L/R

peeradonn · Post by **peeradonn** » Tue Sep 22, 2009 3:20 am

Dear,

Just wonder how can I mute the mainout L/R when I plug in the headphone at front's headphone port?

For now, when I plug in the headphone at the front's headphone port,
the mainout L/R still have signal output which makes me have to turn my monitor off everytime if I don't want to make a loud noise.

Is there anyway to automaticallly mute the signal out when hedphone plugged?

Yes. This is the way that most professional audio gear works. Systems with built-in speakers may mute the speakers when headphones are plugged in - but the OASYS does not have built-in speakers.

No - sorry.

thanks DAN, at least I can rest in peace.

One more question, I just notice that my OASYS headphone jack in the front can move a bit, is this normal? should it dead-stick to it's place or
it can move a little? by the way, the HP jack still feel firm and work normally.

( I know this because when I plugged my headphone, the HP jack can move a bit)

Mine also moves a little bit... & somewhat disconcertingly, I sometimes only get sound in one ear and have to jiggle the connector to get sound in both (and I know it's the headphone jack, and not the headphones...)

Ah.... that's quite bad. Any other comment?

To me, this sounds like what might happen if the jack had been damaged - as might happen if a large amount of force had pulled on the cable from an angle (for instance, by a headphone cable being stepped upon). I'm not saying that you did this yourself, just that I've seen this sort of thing with cables and jacks in general.

Dear DAN,

How about headphone jack movable? Is that normal? it can move a bit but still sounds perfect to me.

+1 over here.

I've checked my headphone jack, and it moves slightly. If I had to guess, I'd think this might be deliberate, in order to give slightly when the headphone cable is yanked unexpectedly (like skyscrapers designed to sway slightly in an earthquake, rather than be rigid and thus risk fractures).

What we need is Magsafe-style headphones...

That's cleared for this issue! thanks for all your comments!

Just a thought, it would be untra cool if KORG added bluetooth to future products and make their own headphones to go with it.

Cheers.

My headphone-jack moves a little bit, too. I know of others experiencing the same. In fact I don't know anyone whose h.-jack of the Oasys doesn't move a little bit once you've asked him to check. I doubt it was designed on purpose like that and would feel more comfortable with a solid connection as known from any other gear.

PS: another typical thing like this are that some of the buttons aren't completely straight. None of this is an issue when making music, but it doesn't fit to a "flag-ship". However, I'd still have bought my beloved Oasys - even with a shaky headphone-jack and some buttons out of the parallel line ...
