Title: EII noisy outputs Post by: ahaigh01 on January 09, 2014, 06:01:37 PM Hi,
My EII+ has a certain amount of noise and buzzing in the outputs. It's not overly loud, but slightly annoying. Is this a common issue? What is the fix for this? Any info appreciated - Thanks!

Some people had sustain and release at maximum after a short sample, so the filter was open and = noise

Title: Re: EII noisy outputs Post by: ahaigh01 on January 15, 2014, 02:19:14 PM Mine is a Whirlwind Director DI
I was prompted to try the DI by reading this: http://tweakheadz.com/war-on-hum/ By the way, I have quite a bit of old gear (well, all of it is old gear ;) but only 4 devices have any buzz in their outputs: EII (was the worst) Juno 60 Kurzweil K2000 Lexicon LXP 15 I will see if DI's can fix the rest of it....
