Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi,

I've been using my MD with a Mackie for a long time with no issues.  But recently I got a Yamaha EMX5000-20 mixer, and have the MD connected to that.  The problem I'm having is that with any of my MD's bassdrums distort the EMX's input channel, no matter how low I set the bassdrums level, and no matter what the gain setting of the EMX's input is set at.  Also, I have tried turning the 26dB pad on, and while it helps, it does not eliminate the distortion.  Even if I have MD's level at a minimum, and use the EMX's channel and EQ to boost the signal, I still get a periodic distortion at the beginning of each bassdrum note.

Have any of you had this problem with the MD and the Yamaha EMX mixers or any other mixers for that matter?  If so, how did you fix it?


Thanks,

Scott
