i thought is was because a trace had to pass fairly close to part of the = (filter?) circuit and when they looked at the pcb board layout they = realized they were too close, but it being fairly complex and tight they decided they had to live with it and if your playing it is not = noticeable but its there when you are not playing? Does that spound = right to anyone else?. Not bad engineering just a compromise in board layout. Broke a pcb = trace layout rule to achieve some other needs. lorne -----Original Message----- From: Brian Willoughby <xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx>=20 Sent: October-14-18 2:26 PM To: Scott Fox <xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> Cc: Analog Heaven <xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> Subject: Re: [AH] MatrixBrute opinions? Thanks for the review. I assume that you mean high noise to signal ratio, or low signal to = noise. Basically, your description is telling me that this thing has a = high noise floor, and the various distortion/gain stages conspire to = make that worse. Apparently, nothing can be done about this ever-present = noise, even with the gain settings toned down. Sounds like a description of a vintage synth - especially one with = chorus (although this one doesn=E2=80=99t).

Depending on what you're doing, = this can get pretty noticable in the synth.
