odd high whine from v-synth outputs
16 Jul 2009, 22:16When i plug my v synth into speakers, or headphones, there is no discernable noise, however, when i plug it into my tapco audio interface, or the built in inpit on my imac, i notice an odd noise, around the 200hz mark,that seems to be slowly phasing. Ive noticed, that if plugged into the input of the mac, my dodgy mouse seems to play a part in making this noise (the wire is partially torn)
Ive tried using different cables, they all do it. I cannot try a different interface, speakers or computer. The strange thing is, it does not matter if the v-synth is turned on or not, just that a lead is plugged in and fed into the interface or the computer.
My question is, is this due to bad cabling, is something causing interference which is picked up by the synth, or is there something wrong with my keyboard, possibly the inout/ output jacks?
This is causing me a whole world of worry, as i bought the sytnh on credit a couple of years ago, and so has cost me ALOT of dosh. i can handle it if my interface is fucked, the synth not so much.
