Hi,

I wonder whether any other Voyager owners have a similar problem with the amount of background hiss their Voyager makes when a note is pressed. I was the other day using a 1 oscillator Triangle wave, on the lowest octave setting, the oscillator volumn level at about 5, and I noticed that there was quite a lot of noticable hiss in the background. When I turned off the oscillator, and put the synth on full volumn, the hiss was quite loud, and the equivalent was similar to have the Noise switched on to about level 11. Now is this normal for a modern anologue synth, or do you think my Voyager needs a service?
I am not sure if this problem has always been there or not, since normally I have all 3 oscillators on, using strong saw or square wave sounds, so that the background hiss was not apparent.

Glad for any other Voyager owners responses.

Thanks,

Adam
