Re: [elektron] grounding two aluminum machines

2004-05-01 by pixfodase

Hi there,

I´m experiencing the exact same problem but with a Nord G2. It´s 
curious you mention it because I only noticed it a couple of days ago 
when I tryed seq the g2 with the MD. i have the MD for like 2 years 
now. The crackling level is absurdly loud. Everything gets quiet when 
I unplug the midi cable. Tested all sorts of cable combination and 
the problem remains. Tonight I´ll make further tests. I was thinking 
it was due to unproper grounding of my apartment´s outlets but if you 
have the same problem I´m starting to get worried. I had a virus b in 
the past and I never noticed this. nor with other synths, includind 
midified analogs so I guess the MD may be playing some role in this. 
But never with keyboards, which is the common thing between our 
rig... not sure how this can be causing the problem though... do you 
have any other kbd you can test this on?

lets hope we sort this out.
