JX-03 volume too low when Chorus is off

Post by arn87 »

Hi everyone,
I just received a JX-03 and all the patches play at an incredibly low volume (almost inaudible) when Chorus is off and normal volume when Chorus is on.
Is there something that I'm missing??
Thanks for the help and sorry if I missed some basic stuff but I haven't found any answer/solution so far

All right, I'll answer myself there just in case somebody experiences the same problem.

The problem was not coming from the JX-03 but from me using the wrong cable. I was using a stereo 3.5 jack to stereo 1/4.

I replaced it with a mono 3.5 to mono 1/4, everything's fine now.

The Chorus effect still brings a 4/5 dB boost though but it seems to be the normal behavior of this synth...

JX-03 output is mono without chorus and stereo with chorus.

You only want to be using a stereo minijack (TRS) to a stereo 1/4" jack (TRS) IF your 1/4" input is stereo. Sounds like it wasn't - in which case your setup isn't quite correct.

Just use a stereo minijack (TRS) split into 2 mono jacks (TS).
