Whenever I plug in a MIDI cable to the MIDI out a buzz immediately enters the signal rendering the MIDI unusable! Any suggestions? Has anyone else had this problem?

It actually starts buzzing before I even connect the MIDI to my v-link controller. The second i plug any midi cable into my MIDI OUT on the 606 the buzz starts!

try a new midi cable.
or rip off the ground pin from one of your machines that you are midi'ing

I dont recommend the second. but i've done it and it fixed everything..... You can also get one of those low noise floor power-bars.... if its running through a computer... there will be some hum regardless.

you could also try going out the SP 606 digital SPDIF OUT.

goggle that shit
good luck

Same thing happened to me today on my 505 when I realized that I connected the 505 to kp3 the wrong way with a midi cable.So make sure you plugged the correct way MidiIn->MidiOut ....Sometimes it's something simple :)

The 606 is noisy to begin with (analog)- I once had the same issue when I plugged the USB cable in- the noise got REAL loud
it's some electrical fuckery.

Use the SPDIF output - even if you have to get any/ass device that has a SPDIF input and analog outs to use as a 'converter"
such as:

i have the same problem with my mpc 1000 when i have the usb cable hooked up to the computer. Usb is only used to run the CF card to the computer but for some reason when its plugged in, i get a hum in my recordings. Cables are funny. Was reading about running your cables parallel to each other and not across another, like a cross. If you cross em, you might get a 60hz humming buzz.

(1st post!): I reckon it's a ground loop/ earth loop - I often get it when I plug in USB on my MPC. Weird for a MIDI cable (by design - MIDI should not do this) but anything is possible: this is live/studio gear after all.

You could try the suggestion of breaking the ground connection somewhere - either in the audio cables in/out of the SP - I have some patch leads I've cut the earth on at one end - usually fixes hum/buzz/weird pulsing stuff.

Also - yeah check for running audio/MIDI/data cables too close to power etc.

good luck
