So I just moved my studio into a new room in the house. Connected everything up how it used to be. However, now when I plug a TRS 1/4 cable from the SP's audio out into the input of my interface, there is a static noise, very noticeable. It did not do this prior, ever. I've changed cables and it did not solve the problem. I've plugged into all 4 inputs on my interface and the static noise is still there. It's not my interface because when I plug a microphone into the input, the static noise is not there. The only thing left to suspect is my SP. Might there be a setting on the SP that may be causing this?

Please don't tell me my $800 toy is starting to default. I've only had it for 4 months!

While the static noise is there, I can still play/record and hear playback fine. Any ideas?

I don't have another hardware synth that I can try, but I did plug in my electric guitar as well and there is no static noise whatsoever. At this point, I'm pretty convinced that the problem is my SP.

Plz helpppppp

The SP has a noise source that you can use for modulation... Maybe something tripped it on? Try futzing with that.

Is your audio interface and SP plugged into the same wall outlet? I have tons of RF issues in my studio caused by ground loops and non-isolated grounds... I live right under giant radio towers so i constantly get weird issues no matter what I use.

Thats the best i can think of right now.

Try a TS cable since the phatty's out is unbalanced mono.

Also, try to have all you components in the chain plugged into the same outlet (power strip) to eliminate the possibility of a ground loop.
