Re: [elektron] noise out the MD main outs when sending midi clock

2004-04-26 by Christopher Mitchell

I imagine it has something to do with the fact that the midi cable is  
also picking up a radio station, especially when I ground it but even  
when it is just sitting around.  this is the kind of thing i would  
expect from a guitar, and would use a ground lifting DI, but this  
happening from a midi cable is kind of lame.  Touching the around the  
power supply and around the aluminum top, regardless of where it is  
plugged in, also tunes in my favorite Mexican AM station.

actually, it is happening only when a midi cable is plugged into the  
output to an input whether the receiving end is turned on or not.  both  
devices are currently plugged into the same power strip and being  
ground lifted.  having read other users' reports of noise and radio  
interference I was hoping for the best, but rather than take this out  
of the country with me I think it may have to go back up for sale.

slightly disgruntled,
Chris
