Help with Indigo 2 Issue

  • I recently aquired an Indigo 2. I can play for about 10 minutes or so before the sound turns into this high pitched, bitcrushed kind of sound. You can kind of hear the original patch in the background, but it's mostly just the high pitched sound. I can still switch between patches but all of them are the same, original patch in the background, but it's mostly just the high pitched sound. If I turn the Virus off and back on it's fine for another 2-10 minutes before it cuts out again. The seller claims it recently had a very extensive service including:


    Capacitors replaced with high quality audio capacitors
    key bed disassembled and cleaned
    all switch caps and knobs removed and cleaned
    Display replaced with high quality LED display
    The contrast control for the new display is via a knob at the rear of the instrument, which makes adjustment far more accessible than the original menu diving.


    Anyone have any idea what's going on?

  • I'm noticing it is typically happen when I play a lot of notes or play a patch with very long release time. Could this be some sort of DSP overload?


    I also purchased it from the UK and I am in the US. Wondering if it has anything to do with going from 230v to 110v.

  • this high pitched sound you mention might be a DSP crash which can have various reasons. if you have this issue frequently after a couple of minutes you shouldn't rule out a hardware related problem and contact support by email. what concerns me most is that somebody replaced capacitors on the mainboard. it concerns me for two reasons: it is not necessary and it will result in our service not touching this modified mainboard. so, if there is a hardware issue, you will have a problem with your indigo. to be totally frank here, i would return it to the seller but that's just my personal option.
