Posted: Sun Dec 29, 2013 2:05 am Post subject: VCO levels to 0? |
|
|
Hi, starting from basic setting on the Mini, when turning both VCO levels to zero I can hear their sound - playing the keyboard, of course. It's very quiet but still audible in the noise (that is known and no problem). They can be heard through headphones and from the main output, too.
Is it normal, would you try it please? Thank you.
Edit: Let me add, it's not a problem musically, at all. The synth sounds great. I'm just curious, is it a kind of 'leaking', miscalibration, or simply the nature of this instrument. _________________ AkosJanca.com | Facebook | YouTube | SoundCloud | FuturePlant || OASYS-demos | nanoROCK demo | Korg Band in the Garage demo | Kronos Demo 1 | Kronos Demo 2 |

My other analog synths do this as well and it's totally normal. Adjusting the VCO level isn't the same as adjusting the overall volume. In order for them to be 100% silent, the VCOs would have to be turned off completely. On my Juno-60, they actually hum even when you don't press a key. It's actually kind of eerie sounding because it's six discordant notes stacked on each other, haha. _________________ Roland Juno-60, SH-101, TR-606, MC-505, Casio CZ-101, Yamaha DX100, DX11, Kawai R-50e // Korg R3, microSTATION, Monotribe, MS-20 Mini, SQ-1, minilogue, electribe sampler, Volca series: Bass, Keys, Beats, Sample, FM, Kick, Moog Theremin |

I totally agree, zero is supposed to mean zero, but in this case, the numbers are simply for reference point. Again, it's not the same as the volume, where zero actually means no volume. Notice that even with the LP filter set to zero, certain sound frequencies will still pass through. It's common for analog synths to behave this way. _________________ Roland Juno-60, SH-101, TR-606, MC-505, Casio CZ-101, Yamaha DX100, DX11, Kawai R-50e // Korg R3, microSTATION, Monotribe, MS-20 Mini, SQ-1, minilogue, electribe sampler, Volca series: Bass, Keys, Beats, Sample, FM, Kick, Moog Theremin |
