weird extra harmonics that only occur when I place my x0xb0x

Post by crx091081gb »

My x0xb0x oscillator gets weird extra 'buzzy' overtones depending on where I put it in my studio, it's driven me mad these last few weeks. Basically in it's usual position on my keyboard stand it gets the buzzyness, as soon as I pick it up and move it a foot forward and sit it on my JX-3P the oscillators sound clean again.

I've tried different PSUs. Tested with no MIDI cables plugged in, doesn't seem to make any difference.

Any ideas?

Is my x0x / studio haunted?

either call the ghost hunters, or record and post samples, it's hard to tell from your description
do you plug it in different power outlets or into different devices?
what kind of enclosure is it - the normal (pactec) or some exotic one?
