Sounds to me like your clipping the effects unit.
Try dropping the volume of all the OSC's assigned to this sound by 30.

Thanks Sharp
I lowered the volumes of each timre ( i hope this was that you meant) and the noise disappeared....by the way it was a combi preset.

This isnt good that there are "Bugs"(i dont know any better word in this case ) like this in the preset sounds :?

now i just need to fix the module tilt problem, i dont want to break it :)
Anybody else has these problems?

Don't worry, this is by no means anything that could be considered as bug.
This is nothing more than the effects being clipped due to the amount of notes your playing at maximum velocity.

Simply dropping the volume as you can see solves the problem.

Yeah, that will do. I thought you where in PROG mode, but it does not really matter. What you have done in COMBI mode is technically almost the same.

You could have done what you just did, or you could have gone into the Effects mode and found the effect being clipped. When located, you could have then found the cause and tweaked it to suite your playing.

But hey... it's all the one.

I'm an OASYS guy, so I don't have an M3, nor do I know the system well at all. But what is the module tilt ? I've never heard of this before ?.

Maybe if I knew exactly what your trying to do here, I might be able to help.

Well i think this is hard to answer if you dont got a M3 ....

Look here to see good pics: http://www.karma-lab.com/forum/showthre ... adid=10252
how the mechahism looks like. its very simple and efective i just dont get it how my stopped "working" :S its kinda jammed i got it lowered but with with "force" and i got it up again and its jammed again! i dont want to brake it (which i think it will if i must use this kind of force to get it lowered each time)... so any M3 user that has similar problems?

:-) Ahhh, the lift mechanism that tilts the M3R.
I thought you where stuck on another technical issue with operation of the actual M3.

Didn't know it was a mechanical issue you had.

Not my area, sorry.

I fixed the Tilt problem... There was a rubber "thingy" that was part of the mechaism that was supposed to "soften" the contact between the mechanism and the keyboard itself, but the plastic "thingy" on the rubber "thingy" has moved and the glue under it had glued it stuck!
so i just moved the plastic "thingy back and it now works perfectly :wink:
