I have an SC Live 4 which is updated to the latest software version.
The fault/problem that i have is with the “Noise” Sweep Effect. When i press it & turn the activation knob under the deck playing or any of the decks for that matter with volume sliders up to max on each channel, it doesnt work, no effect sound at all, the button flashes as it should when activated & triggered but nothing.
It has worked before in the past.
All other Sweep Effects work fine as they should with no problems at all.
First I noticed that when I created a 4 beat auto loop with the loop encoder on the right deck, I pressed the “loop out” button to try and shorten it and create an effect.
Instead of shortening the loop, it did nothing but the light on the button cake on.
The second thing was three out of the four sweep FX worked. The noise did nothing.
I tried for a while and nothing worked. I then played around with a few other knobs and went to the internal speaker control, turned on and the volume up and went back o the noise sweep. I wanted to test if it was not working on the master but worked on the internal speakers.
I could hear it on the internal speakers so thought I’d try the master again and this time it was working!
I had this last night on channel 1 sweep fx knob. I think I switched from 2 deck mode to 4 deck mode, and I also was changing the noise volume in the settings. Then the noise effect didn’t work on channel 1. Worked on all the other channels. The other effects, filter, echo, and wash still worked. Just noise on channel 1.
Rebooted the unit and it came back.
If it happens again, can you try pressing the “loop out” button and turn the platter to shorten the loop? That didn’t work for me when I had the noise sweep FX fail.
I’ve just tested that and yes that seems to be a cause of missing noise.
For me, all 4 channels the noise is faded out with the cross fader. I have all channels set to THRU mode. Essentially far left is noise at 0, and moving the right increases noise level.
Wonder if this is some kind of half-implemented feature.
I’m sure it’s probably related, but not exactly the same as what I had. Other channels the noise worked for me, just not on channel 1.
Can confirm that the noise fx is not working whenever the crossfader is pushed to the leftmost position. Regardless of the channels being set to THRU. Thanks guys!
For me, Noice works BUT it is a very quiet effect. I need it to get much louder. I use Thru for all channels and have not yet checked the effect of crossfader position but will check it out tonight. Does anyone else have a quiet ‘noise sweep’ problem?
