Just have this weird issue with my Phatty, when i plug it into my mixer board or any mixer board in-fact, after a few minutes the lights around the knobs like the filter and LFO etc, start moving automatically and glitching and flashing, i have no idea what causes’s this.
It doesn’t do it when its not hooked up to any mixer or anything and when i use it with headphones, it also sounds like it goes out of tune as well as the lights flickering around. Any idea what the issue could be?
Sounds like a grounding issue. I had an effect pedal do a similar trick with my lp. Make sure everything in the chain is well grounded. There are some other solutions that have been mentioned here before that I’m not 100% on.
If you can’t get it cleared up contact moot support by phone or email, they are a great help.
Thanks for that man!, i’m wondering how would i ground my little phatty? everything else is well grounded, so it looks like im gonna need to have a word with the Moog team.
As long as the lp is plugged into a 3-prong outlet where the round pin in the outlet is actually hooked up to a ground point the lp is grounded.
The “possessed” behavior often results when a stray voltage in another piece of gear finds the best path is to travel up the audio cable and through the lp’s ground.
