I have to check my snake but Iām getting an unbalanced stereo output from the mains on mine. Anyone else have this happen? I sent out a mono kick to the mains to test it. Could be a setting I need to track down but Iāll start with a cable swap.
Drive gets de calibrated and this can happen. Need to re calibrate or restart the machine.

forgive my ignorance but how can you tell if you are getting unbalanced or balanced output from the mains?

You can just look at your meters and see
Ohhh, you mean āunbalancedā as in, the left and right side are different volumes?

Yeah. Unbalanced stereo output.
The room starts to spin and the next thing I know I wake up in a pile of potato chips.

I thought you meant unbalanced vs balanced, as in, the different types of signal/ground wires. Like you were getting noise off a long cable run or something haha
Nah I run a trs snake into it., so no noise. Iāll recalibrate and see if that works.
Itās definitely happened to me a few times this last month and itās always related to drive. If you turn off drive the stereo imaging goes back to normal. I find in particular if I mess with the drive settings on page 2, somehow it eventually leads to this.

Iāve seen the unbalanced mains on my unit too. Very rare and subtle, only caught it when looking at the meters. My UDO Super 6 will do this more often and more audible but simple restart always did the trick, same goes for the tr.

Hereās a recent jam with the Avalon!
Iām really happy just sending everything thru the ext in. Side chain options are just enough for my needs. My only wish is to be able to set the ext in to a track so I can assign knobs to reverb/delay sends and SC depth rather than having to shift + kit and scroll to find that ext in page.

Thanks for that. I do my best to make sure I focus on the strengths of a machine and focus on what really matters, which is the music you can make with it. That being said, itās a great unit! Iād like to have a couple things sampling wise from the OT on here, mostly quantized sample recording (it would just need to be an option in the recording settings menu). If it had that it would make looping and layering much easier.

Apparently, itās has two SP404mk2 DSP chips inside, so I suspect that more 404 features will be ported over. Maybe the looperā¦.

Interesting! I was wondering what kind of power the sampler would have to have. I mean theoretically, you could have all 14 tracks playing sample chops at once right?
Roland put on a decent show last night for the TR. Thanks for the free beer too! The place was packed. The night had a product demo off one of the TR devs (drum and bass and a bit of hiphop) , then a great QA with Guy called Gerald and then a 45 minute set from him. I couldnt stay too long and only got a couple of videos (am sure more will appear on here from others). The TR sounded amazing tho - that bass oooooooof

Nice one for sharing, totally forgot about the event!
Do you mean this kind of issue? On my unit the left channel is slightly louder than the right, but itās not audible. When the Analog Filter Drive is on, I can see it on the meter. When itās off, both channels are even.
When I set DRV IN G to a lower value, the difference becomes more noticeable, and eventually it becomes audible. Hereās an example with DRV IN G set to 0%ā¦
The unit was calibrated, but it didnāt help. I reported it to Roland. Theyāre aware of the issue and confirmed the same behavior on their own unit, but itās unclear if they plan to address it.
And no, itās not caused by any messy settings, cables, or anything like that. I confirmed the same thing on two different units.

Was there any info of expected stock?
