Hey all, sorry for the late response!
Just to clarify I did load all of the patch banks, and the noise was still there, but I was able to salvage and edit one patch to use for testing purposes (originally Bank 1's patch 15 zeroed out, then I added the modulation to make patch 11).
I will try what you mentioned out of course. It was a busy weekend, I didn't get time to take photos of the build/ install even. Hopefully this week?
