Subject: DW8000 hum

From: "status_graphics" <status_graphics@...>

Hi!

I'm restoring a beat-up DW8000 and the biggest part of the work has
been done (the usual battery change, major keyboard reconstruction)
but one problem remains:

There's an audible hum (or a low drone) which appears only when a
note is played AND either the noise generator or the digital delay
have been turned up. It's not a stuck note as all of the oscillators
are functioning perfectly and also when the effect level & noise
level parameters are turned to zero, the hum is inaudible.

Any ideas what could cause this? Help would be appreciated.


Cheers, Mikko from Finland
