Subject: Noob question: background noise

Hi group

I purchased a polysix recently. It's awesome, I love it, there's only one problem: There's a lof ot background white nosie.

Not "a lot" like in "totally unusable", just more than other gear and synths I have/had (Kawai SX-240, Roland SH-09, JX8P, Roland MC-202).

When playing it doesn't bother me, but when recording, especially when recording multiple tracks and the noise is multiplied.

The nosie is not constant on the output, if I for example modulate the vca it goes away when the vca is pulled low.

Does this sound like common behaviour for a polysix? Or is mine expecially noisy?

Anyone had success reducing the noise? Common ground for all boards is one tip I have read about.

Anyway, now I've been testing noise eliminiation in my DAW with izotope rx3 demo, works like a charm, but it's a bit expensive...

Regards
/Fredrik
