Roland S-50 Static Output

2011-09-20 by Jim Atwood

Hello!

I'm curious if anyone has owned and experienced static output with the Roland S-50.  I'm trying to determine whether I need to replace the Output Jack board or the CPU board.  Static is heard across all outputs including the headphone jack.  Playing the S-50 at low volume levels results in minor static but as you increase playing velocity or volume the static increases.  Here is a file with an example of the S-50 static.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Jim
