MONOTRIBE noise from the Rhythm line: normal, defect, or OS?

Hello!

I bought a used monotribe already updated to OS 2.0.
I notice that there is a let's say "white noise", or just normal noise coming from the Rhythm section.
Of course when everything is playing you cannot really hear it well, but if nothing is playing it is VERY noticeable.
For example, from the Synth volume knob there is NO noise, perfect, I can turn it at Max and ZERO noise. But with the Rhythm knob, just after the half of it it starts a very noticeable noise.
I mean, it is not something that make it unusable, but it is annoying, buying expensive mixers, expensive cable, and having a noise coming from a device.
I can still turn the Rhythm volume knob to zero till I do not need to play the Rhythm line. But, well. Should it be like that? Is it in all units?
Or is it because of a wrong OS update? Or just defective unit?
Can it be solved?

Thanks.

welcome to the world of analog! noise, irregularies, manual lfo syncing etc.

it's a challenge and dirty, and that's what makes it real, fun, and real fun.

that noise is inherent in the drum channel. you can use an outboard gate if you like.

yeah, I suppose you're right

I will live with that.
I just wonder how can I finally eliminate all the noise which I accumulate.
Because, the mixer adds a bit of noise. The mic a bit. Monotribe a bit. The looper pedal a bit. If all adds a bit of noise, finally in the recording there is this constant high frequancy white noise.
Equalizer? Denoiser?
