Thanks! Many will find that useful! I was considering this multipad myself but I opted for something else. With your video everybody finally know the problem is made by Alesis cheap power adapter. Nice autogoal. I think I’ll keep on using the old Roland Octapad 2 that I chose instead. Still kicking hard!
It's a pain. The main issue is those plug in adaptors are noisy as they only half wave rectify.... A better PSU will provide better smoother supply (it's the conversion from AC to DC that's not as clean is the crux). Other options are running the entire thing of a UPS that has been charged up and unplugged, so you're using a groundless supply - so ground loops aren't a thing any more. I've had huge success running it through a DI box and flicking the ground lift on. Passive DI boxes are a pretty cheap solution. You don't need an active one.
Hello! Today I repaired one of these units since one of the buttons did not work and the low output volume (approximately -30db) caught my attention. Is this normal? Greetings!
thats not a balanced cable. theres no such thing as a balanced cable. there are cables used for balanced signals. but thats NOT such a cable. its just a stereo cable.
Well done great job. Thank you best regards from England 👍

@@MrFosamax hmm, I have not run into that issue. I’ll look into that.
