today i experienced something very disturbing with my MD..first, when 
playing around with it, i noticed a lot of backgroundnoise coming from the 
MD, and when i switched off the MD, i could hear some local Radioprogramm in 
my Headphone when touching the MD....

anybody else experienced this effect?

is there any 'electric' way to avoid this?


i dont wanna hear the local-news on my md when i am harddiskrecording 
something...


thank you,
Steril...

I can't say for certain, but I would suggest turning off any
unused inputs...hope this helps,

It depends on the synth engine you're using, I think.

Heh... :-))) Me too, I have the same problem. I reported it to Elektron 
the day after I received my MD. Nothing to worry about imo, but funny 
indeed.

It only happens right after switching it off and you can hear the sound 
is getting quieter and quieter. That's how it behaves over here anyway.

I'd love to hear radio sounds when I touch my MD ! Not everytime I 
guess though, but what a cool trick !!! MD theremin kinda thing !
On a more serious touch, as far as background noise is present, I 
experienced that already and most of the time, it was caused by an 
unnoticed delay, reverb or decay set on a too high level and that 
wouldn't shut up (depending on the machine). Check it out maybe. But 
it wouldn't work for the radio sounds I suppose :-)

And I forgot the main ones : distortion and compressor gain. Check 
them too.

I get the radio effect as well. It happens *every* time I turn the 
unit off and different settings (synths, effects, etc) have 
*absolutely* no effect. That is to say it occurs no matter what your 
setting (except volume=off). 

When the unit is powered up and I touch the metal casing, it happens 
as well. Though it is a much less obvious effect (i.e. not as loud). 

In my area I seem to pick up a sports station. It comes in clearer 
than *any* of my household radios. Which is nice.

I'm not griping but it is a curious effect. I just thought I'd chime 
in as it seems every time something like this is reported with any 
piece of gear, the general response is something along the lines 
of: "it must be some *other* piece of your gear? we can't replicate 
it over here...etc" Which only helps further the insanity. Bottom 
line is: the little bastard gets great radio reception. I bet with a 
few choice tweaks it would get in broadcast TV as well. No biggie, it 
(the MD) still rules. So long as I don't find myself tearing up the 
club with fuzzy shouts of "TOUCHDOWN!" going in the background I'm 
fine.
