Bad Sound
•
Do you have a mains-frequency hum?
-
If you’re not using balanced outputs, you should switch to using them.
-
If you are using the balanced outputs, try changing the GND LIFT
switches on the rear of the unit. Also check the receiving gear to see if it has similar
switches.
•
Are you experiencing a clipping distortion sound?
⁃
Check the VU levels under the MASTER
Volume
page. If, when playing
a track, the meters are red-lining then you should dial back the MASTER Volume or
that specific track volume.
⁃
You may be over-driving your receiving gear (e.g., mixer, preamp), so
try dialling back the MASTER Volume.
•
Do you hear nasty random noise distortion?
⁃
This could be cross-interference from an attached peripheral, such as an
external MIDI keyboard or sequencer. Does the distortion go away when you unplug
a certain device? In which case, you could try a USB isolator, or service this device.
Uneven Sound
• Is one channel, left or right, higher in volume than the other?
-
First check the pan setting on the track/s you are using. Double tap
Pan
to reset to centre.
-
Try a different factory timbre or use the test tone to check stereo image.
Perhaps the sample or timbre you are playing is weighted more on one channel by
design.
-
If this affecting the headphones output, try adjusting the headphone
volume. If Regen was previously shut-down while sending information to the
headphones volume control, then it could conceivably become unbalanced, and an
adjustment to its volume will correct this.
• Is the sound out of tune?
-
If you’re using a USB audio interface, check the sample rate matches
what Regen reports on the Audio Settings page. If your audio interface as a control
panel it may be possible to change the sample rate without Regen’s knowledge. It is
better to set the sample rate from the Regen Audio Settings page.
