uneven output?

Post by keyboard komuso »

Recently rearranged my studio a bit. Originally I had my back to my mixer while playing the SV-1, but now it's on the side and I can see my mixer. I noticed the majority of the sounds have a slightly higher output on the right side. I've done tests with different cables, XLR versus 1/4 inch, different channels on the mixer, etc. Still the signal from the SV-1 is a bit hotter on the right side. Other keyboards, when plugged into the same channels are even, so I know it's the SV-1. No tremolo or fx are on, just straight sounds.
It's no big deal I guess as I merely have to raise the left channel to even out the signal. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. And for the record, despite my numerous "complaint" posts, I have really grown to LOVE the SV-1. Even with its "quirks", it's an extremely inspiring instrument. The sound quality is amazing & the control layout is beautifully designed. I can't wait to get home to play the damn thing! :P

I noticed the same thing on mine as well. My left side is a touch lower, so I just bump the pot up a bit on that side. No biggie but it did make me wonder why.
