Low input volume from Monotribe in Kaoss Pad 3

I've connected my Monotribe to a Kaoss Pad 3 then to a Scarlett 2i2 interface.
The input volume in the Kaoss Pad (coming from the Monotribe) is very low. I've tried raising the level of the Monotribe and increasing the input volume on the KP of course but it's still very low.
All this on Filter 1 setting and most other settings HOWEVER on some of the other effects settings the volume suddenly gets very loud.
What could be causing this?

Any suggestions would be welcome

Sounds like a cable problem.
Is it the panning LFO effects (about LFO 18 or phaser,maybe distortion or bit crush)?- Regardless this is a good place to check..The Monotribe is mono out and if you feed it a stereo cable it maybe shorts one side to ground.Is your cable tip/ring/sleeve ?You can tell by two black dividers on the jack.
Try using a mono splitter >one tip/sleeve into two(tip/sleeves i.e. mono's).Then two jacks>phono's into KP3.
That's all I can think of.
