yes but no problem brother. Thats not a problem . Thats a ms20´idiosyncrasy , is the "peculiarity" of this synth. That noise is a godsend direct from the analog circuits. Noise is analogic , is normal !! i have it in my ms20 as well.

The noise and the key thump are part of the charm. Avoid the triangle wave and you don't notice it.

If you're VERY lucky

The Thump is quite obnoxious on mine and wildly different (so it seems) from another unit - so there is scope for variation

Any takers for these tests ; )

tbh - the noise on mine is very high, but it doesn't bother me - the thump on the other hand is on occasion charming but all too often just excessively apparent - even with rasping saws, let alone flutes

sorry to highjack the thread - but if anyone was concerned i will link upmy test files with oscillators off and the bleed is very apparent, but nothing like the thump - which produces a big DC offset wobble mostly on key up and it may be evidence of poor calibration - but my test reveals it quite simply, if it's present, which it will be- i mean it will highlight the extent methodically

thanks for reading
