sound problem of 2box

[nonoduweb]

Thank you for the recordings, maybe that Deve or others will help you more easily.

I had this kind of distortion on some sounds, like the toms. I can't say that it's the problem which concerns you. I think it was caused by an electric problem in my house (a trendy device seemed to cause these distortions).
Did you try to use your module in another place, or change your power adaptor?

I had exactly the same symptoms recently. The cause was using the wrong power supply (9V rather than the 18V required). Thankfully no damage done to the brain even after an hour or so of use; all was fixed with the correct one plugged in again.

Is your power adapter getting very hot?
Maybe after a while when it gets too warm, the secondary ac voltage drops and the internal power circuits can't deliver a clean voltage anymore.
Otherwise is the main ac voltage too low? It should be 230 V +-5 %.

Hello Deve

I have the exact same problem. And your comment made me think about this.
Here in turkey the Voltage level is 220 V and 50 Hz,  Do you think, this much of tiny diff can cause this heat and distortion ?

Thanks.

when i turn off the volume the distortion doesn't sound at the output,in any other case the problem it's still the same after i turn on the module for an hour and plus there is distortion again...
it it a problem of the overheat of the ac adaptor ?

Hi,

I have the same problem. After a while the sounds are distored. After playing the pads sometimes they are 'clean' again or turn into distortion after some hits.
I have a pretty new set (oktober 2010) serial 01026, Boot 1.32 version OS 1.10
(The adapter (powersupply) is very hot after some time)
Did you already solved the problem?

thks

Hi ,

I found the fix to the ever irritating distorted, clipping sounds when playing!
It wasn't the power supply as mentioned prior, although it wouldn't hurt to get the proper one!

The solution to this is to just change the pad trigger settings! From the factory they are set to the hottest trigger setting which is not ideal. This is whats causing the distortion/clipping when playing. From the factory they are set to RubH1. This is way too hot. Try RubH2 and that will take most of the clipping out but not all but will sound moderately hot still if thats your thing. To take all clipping out completely set it to RubH3 and voila!! problem solved and the samples wont sound hot anymore either!! its killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

Even more reason why there needs to be a technical description of the differences between pad trigger types.

Amen to that!

Just for leaving a note on this topic as archive, I don't have that issue at all. Fist A voltage regulator kind of solved my issue, now I don't use it but I use a surge protector, and that helps.
