Hello everybody
I’m a new proud owner of a Moog Source I had shipped from someone in Japan.
I used a step converter to make it fit the right voltage, The synth sounded very clean and nice specialty after I calibrated the tuning pots it is stable quite good tuning actually.
The label in the back says
120v/60hz
100v/50hz
30watts
So recently I decided to get the synth power supply modded to my countries voltage which is
220v/50hz
The Tech did it very quick after looking in the service manual. He joined a couple of wires and it turned on with no visible problem.
I came home and played the synth but now it sounds a little deferent.. The tuning is fine and stable
but The sound is not as clean as it sounded before, it’s similar but with some extra side effect..
I would describe it as a little dirty and fuzzy undernith, with some very low background kind of ring modulation effect. It’s Like some lfo action going on in the background but with a light effect on sound
Very hard to describe but call me crazy it’s not the same as it was when I used the step converter pre modding..
I tweeked the sound to calibration test mode ( saw tooth with nothing on it) and checked all the buttons.. Then I noticed when pressing any button on the synths panel there is this very low little noise of static electricity..
Does anybody have an idea what went wrong and what can I do about it?
I am worried something is wrong and want my synth to sound clean as before
I would like to try checking it DIY as it’s complicated for me to reach the tech..
I will apretiate any suggestion
Thanks
OL.
