Hello There are two noises: a 50Hz "buzz" from the power line and real "noise". The buzz sounds more like it is induced by neon light or something similar. But it might be the transformer itself. I can't judge that from here. The noise seems to me the normal noise of the synths output (it _is_ noisy to a certain level), but the internal signal seems to be low. That is normal for 50% Level. Use 100% Level for VCO1 and make the recording again. Basically: the signal level in the MonoPoly is that way laid out, that you can work always with all VCOs at 100% level. There is plenty of headroom. If you do not use this headroom, you will hear the noise. Florian
