Just got my Wavedrum, and love it. I especially enjoy Patch #61. When I go to that Patch, there's a looped sustained synthesized note. How do I get rid of it?
It's not assigned to the pad or rim. It starts as soon as I go to patch 61.
Thanks.

61 is the D&B Synth, the head algo is #4 the Head instrument is 11 the rim algo is 23 and the rim instrument is 85. I assume you are referring to the head sound. From the description of that algo I don't think you can get rid of it. One of the parameters is hd2/rm2 Resonance but if I am reading it right it is already set at 0. The description says if you turn it up it will produce a continuos oscillating tone. I would try adjusting the parameters one at a time and see how they change the tone, I think you might find you just need to select a different algo instead of 4. With 36 different algo's you probably will find something that works. But you really need to attack the #4 parameters first to see just how each affects the tone if that doesn't work then it's time to move on. Wavedrummer will know a lot more about it then I do. I'm just guessing based on what the manual says. I'm going to go play with it now to see how I can change it.


edit to add, things didn't work as I thought. I couldn't make it go away. About your only option is to get the tone you are looking for in your head and pick a new algorithm and start from there. I was looking at the double sized algorithms and I think it was 33 might get you in the ball park. i didn't try to tweak any of it's parameters I just replaced#4 with it, it would need more tweaking.

Thanks for your response, I've only had the Wavedrum for a few days. I'll start tweaking with it shortly.
Thanks again. Very Happy

Do you mean that it starts, without you hitting or applying pressure to the Wavedrum? Does it produce that tone automatically?

Yes it starts automatically without striking any surface on the Wavedrum.

Something is definitely not right there.
First thing I would do is reset the factory default settings as described in the user manual (pg 28-30). You might also follow the recalibration suggestions on the adjoining page.

The only thing I heard of ever causing problems with the sensors is if any objects are left to rest on the Wavedrum for extended periods--although I'm not sure that's what's going on here. Try both things just to be sure.

If the problem continues, contact Korg directly. What you have described is unusual.

Guys sorry I missed that! I was trying to eliminate the drone generated after striking the head.

Come to think of it mine had the pressure sensor error out of the box. A calibration and it worked fine.

I also re set my pressure sensor with the Allen Wrench. It was at 33, I set it at 0, as per manual instruction. Works great now. Very Happy
