The Craziest Thing Happened on my Electro 4D

Postby cphollis » 10 Feb 2018, 20:13

Something weird is going on with this board, I was wondering if anyone had ever encountered the same?

Nord E4D, 1.20 firmware, never ever had a problem with it.

Messing around with it, and one of my B3 patches had a bug. When playing through the rotary sim, all was normal. Try to play without the rotary sim, and it sounded distant and far away, maybe attenuated 70-80%? Weird. It's never done that.

No matter how much I tweaked buttons, knobs, settings, etc. -- I couldn't restore the native sound level without the rotary engaged. Reloaded the OS, next step is to reload factory settings (which takes some time)

So, I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks
I think I have gear issues ....

Are you saying that all your B3 programs without the rotary sim behave this way or only one program ?

"Sounding distant and far away", makes me think of phase cancelling. Are you perhaps summing L and R outputs together? Try listening with only headphones, or only a single output connected.

Phase issue. My guess: youre using headphones with a 1/4” to 3.5mm Adapter.

There is a whole batch of defective adapters where one side is inverted and shorted to mono with the other side, cancelling out all centered signals.
