Hello everybody,

I’m sending this message like one in a bottle ! I can’t find a solution !
I have been a happy camper for years wih my Motif XS. Yet, recently, I’ve been worried with noisy crackles in the audio outputs.  The crackles are even worse in the asnL&R;outputs.I attached a brief MP3 extract file of the noises.
I checked the cables, varied the channels of the mixing desk, lowered the volume output, changed the presets, it remains the same in the voice and multi modes ! It reminds me of digital wordclocks issues, yet, I use the Motif XS rack only in analog mode. This issue keeps ruining the recordings I make, and I am very reluctant at using the synth now, which is a shame !
I thought of a midi issue, or an excessive load of the Motif processor or Midi clock…

I fear a hardware issue…
What do you think ?
Has anyone met with the same difficulty ?
Have you found a solution ?

Thanks a lot for your attention and help,
Best regards,
Mike

Hi,

What you describe could very well be a hardware issue, but if it originates inside the Motif-Rack XS, pinpointing it would take someone with more expertise than I have.

I attached a brief MP3 extract file of the noises.

I’m afraid the MP3 file you uploaded is absolutely silent… Would you mind telling us how you recorded it?

- H -

yes mp3 file is silent and you don’t say how you are set up such as are you recording through a DAW with an audio interface or using the internal sequencer of another keyboard or what?
