Q: low output from P606

Post by enossified »

My SP-606 arrived yesterday and almost everything is working as expected....got the OS updated v1.11, loaded up the latest USB drivers, installed P606, etc.

One problem: the output level from P606 is ridiculously low, low enough to be useless. I confirmed that it's not a USB audio problem by setting up Reason with the SP-606 as both the MIDI controller and audio interface. That worked fine, with plenty of volume.

I'd like to give P606 a chance, anyone know how to fix this?

The SP-606 leaves you alot of headroom for fx & mastering, so although the 'naked' volume is lower it shoud never be unusable.

Is this based on the factory sounds? Or your own?

Try this:
put Mastering on- any setting. Go to mastering and boost the levels of both the low & hi 3 or 4 points.

Go to MFX and put on Isolater. Put the levels, especially the mids up really hi.gh

BY now the sound out of your 606 should be way too loud, even distorting your amp or input.

Put on delay for MFX 2 and crank the values- it should be so loud your sound system might explode, or your neighbors would call the cops.

What are you running the 606 to?
Are you using balanced cables?

Someone over at Roland Clans straightened me out. There is a Justify setting in the P606 audio options that defaults to 32-LSB but should be 32-MSB. Now my P606 output is normal.
