I was thinking, did you check the signal when you raise the "keyboard-
control" levers to max. I can imagine this can result in clipping the
chorus section.
I tried to adjust the chorus/tremelo-section too some time ago, to
minimize noise. I found it very difficult to find the sweet spot (I
played chords since this raises the level). The clock-setting is very
critical. The vca-levels are critical since clipping will result.
I have to admit, I never use the chorus/tremelo since I don't like the
sound of it.
