When I hook up my Nord Piano 3 with USB to my DAW there is severe noice, kind of high pitch jitter, totally quiet when removing the USB connection. How to solve this!?

Re: Noice when using USB
Are there any other connections between the DAW and the NP3? Directly (as in the NP3 outputs to the DAW inputs) or indirectly (via e.g. a mixer that is connected to both DAW and NP3)?
Is the noise also noticeable in headphones (when connecting them directly to the NP3) and/or in the main outputs when run directly into your active speakers/mixer that should not be connected then to your DAW when testing?
It is not impossible that the DAW can be part of the noise generation, especially if you have a ground loop somehow.

Re: Noice when using USB
Crappy USB cables and poor sound cards (as in onboard) may contribute to this.

Re: Noice when using USB
Hi It is only via the usb cable, which comes with Line6 products I bought a USB hubwith external power to solve this but no.. I have RME audiocard,Raydat..not crappy. I run a proffesional studio and do not have this noice anywhere else..groundloop is a possible thing but I doubt.. so this is not common?

Also you can use midi instead of USB to get to your DAW.

Hi Micke,
This is a ground loop problem: Nord sends their audio unbalanced, so audio ground is same ground used by USB. When USB and Audio go between the Nord and a computer the ground paths in the cables between the Nord and are shared, so some of the USB signal contaminates the audio path.

Re: Noice when using USB
As wired as it may appear, I solved that problem using stereo audio cables between the Nord and the sound card.
