PCM sounds noise

Post by tbrookshire »

I am not sure if this is an inherent issue with the Beats or if my unit is bad. All of the PCM sounds have background noise/static that I can hear the entire time the sound is triggered. If I slow the speed the noise lasts longer with the sound. It's not too loud and a lot of times I forget it's there but other times it's all I can think about.

Happen on yours also?

the Volcas in general have a pretty (in relation to other Synths I´ve used) loud "noisefloor"...

and the PCM samples are really lo-fi, so I´m not surprised you hear noise in there...

you should compare it with another unit maybe at a local music shop to rule out a faulty unit, but i´d say it´s a normal "feature",yup.
