Subject: new member - suddenly silent / hissy MP4....

Hi All

Long time MP4 lover here.. turned it on today after a couple of
months storage and it's virtually silent, till I crank the headphones
loud and then....

when I play keys, I can hear at very low level noise like the "gate"
opening.

The VCA envelope controls shape the envelope of this low level noise.

If I twiddle the filter resonance, I can hear the noisy pot, but no
actual filter resonance.

If I twiddle the filter cutoff I hear nothing, it doesn't filter the
noise.

I can tell the VCO's are receiving trigger because their LED's light up.

∗∗∗ SO ∗∗∗ looking a the block diagram, I guess I either have a
problem in the "mixer" (post VCO's pre VCF) or in the VCF itself???

Does anyone have an opinion on this??

Any suggestions graciously accepted,,,,,,

peace & sine waves
Simon

p.s. I never even knew there was an MP4 group....
