Hello there
Different research here and there bring me on this forum. Didn't find much more browsing the topics
I currently have my hands on a KC virus recently picked up, which has come out of a long hibernation, and has been very well treated before. It's my very first synth, and after changing the battery and a dozen hours of use, apart from the fact that it sounds extremely well, I've noticed a few problems, not very serious separately, but still. Would greatly appreciate the point of view of more experienced users.
Firstly, I have a slight and constant noise on the headphone output only. It sounds a bit "snowy" or "digital". Master at zero or when I'm playing, this is there, constant and independent of volume. Sometimes when I play and then release the keys, the blow stops, only to resume a third of a second later. Sometimes, after playing for a while, it stops until I play a note again, or activate the master outside a certain range. In this last case, the noise stops again if I return to the right slice. I can do this start and stop infinitively until I press a key again. This blow was there since the first time I pulled the virus on. Was not an sudain apparition.
Any ideas?
Also, in the lfo/mod section, when I start from an init sound to build one, the lfo3 led column doesn't light up when I browse it, unlike the other three. Navigation takes place and is visible on the screen. As soon as the lfo is activated or if a presset is using it, the LEDs start working again. Again, this isn't too serious - I can live with it - but isn't it a sign of some future problem?
Then during switching-on the synth, the top left LED (lfo1) is unstable and irregular, before being ok during playing and standby. Is this normal, and only due to starting or should I worry about?
As I speak, a key has also just right now stopped working properly, it plays less loudly and late, but on this I'm less worried, found some Intel's and since I may work on it I'm going to start by cleaning the contact and apply new graphite.
I've got three weeks to get this machine back to where I found it. As I got it very cheap, and being already in love with it, I'd be inclined to keep it, given that none of these problems is in itself very serious, but I'd like to have the opinion of more experienced people. Or if even there is topic where thoses issues where already discussed. (Didn't find with search)
Many thanks in advance for your answers.
