I am not familiar with the VOICE, and don’t have a machine available to check it out, but the first thing I would do is open the VOICE in VOICE Mode, and check out the elements individually and the insert effects, commonly. There are samples that were recorded intentionally with buzzes, pops, and other analog anomalies as part of the effect… ...and, there are insert effects that mimic these noises to replicate old vinyl records, old radio broadcasts, old movie soundtracks, etc. I would first suspect these sounds to be intentionally there in some way. |

Isolate each Voice in turn to see where the problem lies (select/mute the parts or simply use the first four sliders. It’s actually pretty tough to make the Motif not work properly, or push it beyond its limits. Most ‘problems’ are due to the user having done something they didn’t intend to do or weren’t aware they were doing. Once you can isolate the Voice that’s causing you trouble, see if has an effect on it that’s not appropriate or that you didn’t realize was being applied. If this doesn’t help you solve the problem it should at least give you some idea where the problem is. Good luck! cmayhle you’re just too darn quick!! |

When you replace one Voice with another in a Performance Part, several settings remain, even if you turn on Parameter with Voice. Edit Part 4. Mid and High EQ Gain are not flat - in fact the High is at +12dB. I’d start by setting both at 0dB. Next, Volume is set at 86 - set it lower until the “static” is gone at the velocity you’re playing at. By the way, what you’re hearing can be duplicated in PRE5 C15. Output Level Volume is initially set to 75 - try setting it to 127, and you should certainly hear it. |

Please reread my previous post. I already had done the Voice substitution, did hear the result, and explained how to fix it. I also mentioned how the same problem could be made to occur in the Preset Voice. Do you need step-by-step directions to edit Part 4 Volume and EQ? |

Just so you know for future operations, you cannot simply check and un-check the Parameter with Voice at any time and expect a desired condition to result. The Parameter with Voice needs to be checked BEFORE you bring the VOICE into the PART. See this post, from This Thread, for some insight on timing, with regard to selecting Parameter with Voice (the information applies to PERFORMANCE Mode as well): Image Attachments

You’re welcome. Experimenting is one of the best ways to learn, and as long as you make backups, there’s nothing to lose.
I looked into the situation a bit more. The problem originates in Element 2 of the Opening Voice. Here’s one approach…
In Part 4 of the edited Rodovia performance, select the “New Opening” User Voice. Set the EQ flat (0dB) as I previously mentioned. Set the Volume of Part 4 to 73. That seems to prevent overloading at any key velocity. If the arpeggiated Parts (1/2/3) are too loud relative to part 4, their Volume could be reduced a bit. |

A stage is being overloaded due to excessive level. Perhaps this approach will accomplish what you want for the Opening Voice you’re using for Part 4 in Rodovia…
As you’ve done previously:
Then edit Part 4 as follows:
That seems to work for me, but you could try slightly different values if 45 doesn’t meet your needs. I hope that helps. |
