Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

So just wondering how its supposed to sound?
Anyone have a mp3 example?
It seems all it does for me is make my output noisy.

when I turn it up high, I just get static(white noise) on the output.
even when pressing no keys.  

only way it sounds like it does anything is by turning it to 12-14.

I get no bit rate reduction type sounds out of it other than at 12-14.
but then at that high of a level I can hardly hear the oscillators
over the white noise.
