CS-5 noise - Is this normal?

Post by monolith » Tue Mar 30, 2010 12:41 pm

When I have the cutoff down low on my CS-5 I notice this noise that happens whenever notes are played, for as long as the VCA is 'opened'
I've included a link to a clip to save trying to describe it.

- I've got the sustain and release knobs at 1 o'clock
- about 17 seconds in I open the filter so *WARNING* it gets louder.
- At 23 seconds I turned down the Oscillator volume, so you can hear the noise by itself. I then turn down the 'release' knob.
- the 'noise' knob is turned all the way down ;)

Is this normal on CS synths? I notice my other synths dont do it.

What might the problem be? is it hard to fix?


Thanks for any info! 8-)

Hmmm... I wonder what it is.

Anyone got any ideas?
