Emax Output distorted

Emax Output distorted

2015-09-25 by krikor kouchian

Hello

I'm having a distorted output on my emax.
I recaped the whole analog board, everything was fine, I didn't use it for 2 weeks and when i put it back one, the main output was distorted, like aliased.
I check the separate output and they are the same.
I try to change for another PSU and it acts the same.

here is the sound file:


Any one had a similar problem?

do you get distortion on all samples/banks that you load?


i had some problems with distortion that were software related to corrupt data in the banks

you should rule this out before troubleshooting a hardware problem


also i have noticed if i have the keyboard local on i get some alias behaviour so i saved all my samples after taking local off

Krikor

I have the exact same thing happen on my emax rack.  I do not recommend you do what I did but it temp fixed  mine for a few months.  Out of despair, unable to figure out, anger led me and  I took the butt end of a screwdriver and give it a few hits to the right of the LCD about 2 inches and 2 inches down by where the text menu printing are while playing a sample. After a about 3 hits, the sound returned to normal. If you decide to try, place a thin cloth to avoid scratching the face.  I hit it like when hitting drum pads strength.  I still don't know what it fixed/unstuck.  It's happened a few times again, but the hit fixes it for me until I can find out what is in that area that needs a hit to get rid of the distorted hiss noise.  Your could be different but mine had the exact sound in your clip.  For legal reasons and the record, I do not advise you do this and do at your own risk.  Good luck.
