Hi - I just purchased an emx1 that appears to be in excellent condition. All works well, the adapter looks in pretty nice condition as well. My only issue is that after using for an hour or so, I noticed the back center-right gets pretty dang warm. I’m guessing this is normal for a synth with tubes and all metal casing. I just wanted to make sure before the warranty runs out at GC if indeed this is not normal. As a second inquiry - the sine and triangle waves are extremely snappy unless they have some cutoff added. Is this a matter of taste for using sine waves like this? My mc707 gives you a choice if you want hard or soft sine waves. And most synths have an ADSR to trim the attack ever so lightly. I kind of like the percussive aspect but it also sounds poppy like a badly chopped sample. Thanks
1. If you are talking about the glass in the middle and the area around it being hot , thats normal . 2. you can use the EG INT knob and EG TIME to get rid of that snappy envelope , and also you can choose the type of the envelope by pressing the AMP EG button . I hope its helped you if you got more question feel free to ask .
@@polarenergy4801 cool thanks for the reply. Doing a little research, classic sine waves have a lot of pop to them and most analog synths do as well - but I guess I haven’t noticed it as much because of ADSR and the ability to change the attack ever so slightly to round out that millisecond of snap sound + some VA synths modeled their sines with less pop - which leads us to the mc707 and its ability to adjust that and give us an option in a special setting apart form the adsr :) ya, I figured out the modulation envelope and amp works good but of course then you have to sacrifice other modulation like pitch, etc. It becomes much less of an issue once you start mixing in dual oscillators and envelopes, filter, etc. + The pcm sines are actually pretty nice 👍
