I'm having the same issue with noise floor in the decay phase of the bassdrum on my Nava! I listened to the .wav file you uploaded and it sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing. It's most likely noise from the other cables. Try to separate cable 1 and 2 from the bassdrum section from the rest of...

Hi. I just noticed that the BD with the Extra9 mod in fact does have a hiss, which I cannot seem to alter while turning the pots on the front panel. You can have a listen to it here: https://gofile.io/d/W1363v Is this the same behavior you were experiencing on your unit? Thanks, F. Not sure if it i...

I finally found the issue. This post helped me. In the Bassdrum section, cable 1 and 2 (noise decay in/out) leading from the Nava to the Extra 9 board, must not be bundled with the other cables. There's indeed a crosstalk from noise to audio. Simply separating these two cables and keeping them 2cm a...

I just tried out a toroidal transformer, 15VAC 2.667A. On load (Nava on and playing a pattern) I measure 18VAC @ 970mA.

But still the same hissing on the BD decay. Gonna have to find something else.

Finally I recall I had this. I probed the + and - 15v and found they had the small oscillation we hear on the bass drum. I could also hear it on the steiner parker filter. Thanks Gihaume. I guess I'll have to play with another power supply. Maybe simply use a toroidal transformer instead of a wall ...

Could it be this ? Thanks, Gihaume. I'm currently unable to check my power supply (it is installed somewhere deep behind a rack). But I recall reading this thread, when I was building the Nava. So I'm pretty sure I took a power supply with >= 1A. But I indeed have a little bit of distortion on the ...

My Nava has a noise floor in the decay phase of the bassdrum. I've recorded a .wav file here: https://florianmoser.ch/909-noise-decay.wav

It is recorded right out of the BD-output, but the noise is also there on the mix-output.

Does anyone else have this issue?

That's what I thought. Looks nice, their products. Let me know if the timing is good. Might get one as well

flomo

Thanks, orbist. So now I know its a feature, not a bug, that's a great start

Will check out that 64pixels stuff.

I have a TB-303 attached to the Nava DIN Sync port. When the Nava is configured as master, the timing is perfect. However, when I set the Nava to slave mode and sync it to MIDI, the DIN Sync out clock is quite random and unsteady.

Any ideas how to solve this?
