napierzaza Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I got my SID Making sound. I expected maybe a little bit of a hum or something, but for some reason I get noise in the background. But it's not a ground loop, it's a really low volume tone coming out of the SID, one which is still modified by the the pitch bending wheel on my keyboard. I haven't modifed the patches so it's not foolish sustain or anything, and every patch does it. It's exactly like a very low volume of the same tone that I would have been playing. It's even there on boot-up before any note messages have been sent.Has anyone else had this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futureman Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yea, it's a pretty standard issue.. It's got to do with bleed through from the VCA. On my MB6582 (With 6582 SIDS) I'd say the noise is about 2%-5% of the synths volume.I've heard the older SIDS (6581) are worse.You could invest in a noise gate to help eliminate it if it was really bothering you..Search around, I've read quite a few people talking about this issue.RegardsMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futureman Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Ewww, noise gate.Don't like the words "Noise Gate"? How about "Expander" that sounds better right?After you play a note, you could send it a real low note message, so that it's way way down in the hearing range and not as noticeable.How bad is the bleed? what SID?

napierzaza Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 It's not that I don't like the sound of a noise gate, it's just that I am not sure how much effort it will cost me in time/effort. I guess I can remove the noise in post anyhow. It doesn't sound terrible, I have two 6581s. In fact maybe I should mute the one that is not an R4 and see what it's like.
