Korg Poly-800 mkII // Digital Line Noise Issue...

2014-03-25 by <quiet_channel@...>

Hello!
My Poly-800 mkII has quite a high noise-to-signal ratio. I have listened closely and it sounds not like the white noise generator, but more like clock/digital noise bleeding into the audio path. No parameters or delay settings have any effect on this line noise. It begins as soon as a note is depressed and decreases to a much lower level when the noise gate releases (Usually a second or two after the end of the DCO/VCF envelopes and any delay trails).

Are all Poly-800 mkII's like this?

There must be a way to improve this S-N-R, right?

I am eagerly awaiting your reply!
