Which hardware version of AtomaHawk do you have?
Which version of software are you running?

Subject: [korgpolyex] Distorted Output

 
I have noticed lately that my HAWK800 has massive distortion.

I've isolated it down to the HAWK itself.. not something external like my FX unit, USP audio interface or the like.  It will do it to all the patches.

Some odd things I noticed is I can still hear output when I turn the "Master Volume" MIDI CC#7 to Zero.  It use to be that it would completely cut all output at Zero.

The distortion is more noticeable when striking a chord vs. a single note.
I try to turn the physical Volume knob down, but it distorts at all volume levels.

I also can turn both the DCO's volumes all the way to zero/off and still get output with Master Volume at zero also..


Is it possible my audio amp has gone bad somewhere?
I think this may have become a progressive issue.  It has been noticeable for awhile and gradually got worse.
I think I use to be able to level it out by turning the Actual volume knob down a bit.. but now it's all the time no matter what.
Any ideas???

Thanks
