I've tried every screw and opened the case and connected the ground to even more bare metal. I opened the Serge PSU to make sure the ground was in fact connected and it is, to 'com' on the PCB. My 1/4" to banana adapter/cables are made to spec, too. I've gone through every page and parameter on the Expressionist and everything's as it should be and I've tried a variety of MIDI sources. I'm baffled!
