|
|
Hi, I dont know if this is standard with the monotribe but i seem to experience a loud(ish) hissing sound, like to much gain (even though there is not). checked the connections and they are fine. im just wondering if this is how the mono sounds normally?
I have only had it 2 days btw.

My ESX (old smartmedia version) is hissy too. The ER and EA models were pretty quiet though.
Not too impressive really. |

Believe thats normal. I have a monotron and its super hissy. I'm hearing the new mini MS20 is also like that...
I've never heard the Electribes to be hissy, tho. |

For recordings I would consider gating it a little, but live I wouldn't hear the hiss over the mains hum from my old analogue synths anyway.
I do find these things vary a lot depending on what gear I output to. If I go via a mixer its pretty quiet, but direct into a record its an issue. |

cheers guys, didn't know if it was the unit acting faulty or was just the actual sound of it.
also one more quick question,i have noticed that when i recorded a loop on some settings it seems to modulate after 8 bars and so it sounds different every 16/32 bars even though i have not touched the unit, i have also noticed that it seems to fall out of sync with itself (flux mode not on)
i think i might have a faulty unit :( |

Possibly the pattern has a filter change recorded into it using the motion seq function. You could try recording your own Motion seq over this.
The factory preset patterns are loaded with a lot tonal variations using this function. If I'm using a factory preset as a starting point for my own programming, I usually start by stripping away everything I don't need, track by track. |

Aw thanks for the tip! just trying to get the hang of it!
I don't suppose you could answer one final question that is nearly having me ripping my hair out?
When trying to sync with ableton i'm having a real nightmare, I have managed to record the 5 v. pulse in but im having trouble sending it back out! im using a motu 828 hybrid firewire as an interface. I try to send the signal back after plugging it back into sync in but the monotribe doesn't seem to respond (the input is fine but once I plug the sync in it renders it useless, no audio gets sent to a channel)
I know i'm doing something terribly easy and i should know how to do but alas i'm being a fanny about something. |
