  Subject: [elektron] MD Noisiness


  Another question for all you MD owners.  Some people on this Yahoo 
  Group have posted messages complaining about the MD being noisy or 
  distorted.  That doesn't sound too good, are many people having the 
  same problem?

I didn't have a problem, even though my MD was one of the very first 
batch. It's at Elektron right now to get a knob fixed (problem with the 
first batch), and in the meanwhile, they're changing the audio board as 
well, I've heard. I guess whatever problem anyone might have noticed (I 
heard radio frequencies when switching the MD off! :-), it should be 
gone in later batches.

Cheers,
Joeri

  I got mine fairly recently (a month and a half or so) and I can 
hear radio frequencies when I shut it off.

  Regardless, I did manage to remedy most of the noise problem by 
very carefully setting up the gains and amplification throughout my 
system.  There's still some noise, but it's manageable.  Elektron 
recommended trying a DI, but I haven't had a chance to plug mine into 
the MD yet...
