Keyboard Static sound issue
I have my Motif connected to the 003 Console 5/6. When I play the keys on the keyboard there is a static sound ? I also have humming sound while the keyboard is on and audio cables connected.
When the keyboard is off the humming sound is gone, however if I turn the volume way up I can hear that same static noise. If I unplug the audio cable from the console then it's gone completely. I also have this issue with the monitor knob on the console. There is a loud static sound every time I turn the knob. |

As to the static sound there could be a couple of issues. One is the cables - you may need new ones. Another is iffy connections due to dirty connections. A little isopropyl alcohol and q-tips should do the job. The sound you're hearing when you turn the knob on the 003 is due to a dirty pot. To clean that unplug the unit and open it up. Get some contact cleaner, spray it into the back of the pot and turn the pot several times. I'm making an assumption here that the pot is an analog control. |

Unbalanced connection from Motif to 003 5/6 - See pic. I disconnected the cable so you don't see it in the pic. https://ibb.co/cq1nfv https://ibb.co/kZwyna Audio cables connected to the main inputs of the 003 are also unbalanced cables. - See pic https://ibb.co/enJptF And where would I use the Isopropyl alcohol to clean? |

Sorry for the late response.
Okay so I got balanced cables and it eliminated the humming sound completely. So that worked. :D As for the static knob turning sound. Cleaning the dirty pot sounds interesting. I will make sure to work on that this week and let you know if it fixes the problem. Now to work on some drum kits. :D |

Putting together drum kits from separate drum samples can be a challenge. One of the hardest things is getting the levels to sit well with each other kit piece. Especially cymbals. |
Re: Keyboard Static sound issue
I hear the static sound again when I play each key on the keyboard. It was working a few days ago. I don't think it can be from the cables because the humming sound is still gone.
I restarted the computer and turned off and on the console and the keyboard. Still the same. |

Re: Keyboard Static sound issue
So I cleaned the pot and no more noise when I turn the monitor knob.
However I don't know why I get a static sound when I play on the keyboard. This comes and goes. :confused: |
