noise at power

Post by luchfiummi »

Hello. Besides the normal noise of 20 ms mini, I started to notice noise when turning the team.The noise is like that after tapping fade. They note with the sustain level to maximum and also high vco. It's just when I turn on the ms20 mini and makes it prolonge sustain. If the sustain level or levels of the vco are then switched on at zero noise occurs but almost intantaneo and disappears. To some more this happens? is normal to happen? please if anyone knows tell me. thanks

I'm just having some difficulty understanding your post clearly. Are you using a translator program ?

So the sound comes through your speakers, is that correct ? If so the answer is simple. An old rule of thumb....Turn on your synth first, then your mixer (Or whatever you play it through) & finally your amp or speakers.
If you switch your synth on & your amp is already powered up you will hear some sort of sound. It can damage your gear if you are not careful. Switch things off in the reverse order.

Just did what you told me. Ms20 lit the mini and then the amplifier. And the noise was still being and vanished. Also I listen with headphones. First lit the ms20 and then connect the headphones. It is rare. It is only in the transitional regime. Then disappears. Maybe it is a capacitor. just listening to sustain high level. It is normal? or take it back to the warranty?. Thanks for the time you spend me.

It's difficult to get a fully clear picture of your issue from what you have said so far. What kind of amp is it ? Are you connecting the synth directly into the amp input ?
