Discussions / Solution si buzz sur la liaiso...
Last post by Baloran - May 07, 2026, 05:54:58 PM


--------- English version below

Quand vous connectez The 3FX en USB à votre ordinateur, une différence de potentiel peut apparaître entre la masse de The 3FX et celle de votre ordi. Dans certaines configurations (alimentation à découpage du portable, hub USB, prises secteur différentes...), cette boucle de masse se traduit par un buzz audible en sortie audio. La solution est très simple : il suffit d'intercaler un isolateur USB entre l'ordinateur et The 3FX. Ce petit boîtier coupe la liaison électrique tout en laissant passer les données USB — les masses redeviennent indépendantes et le buzz disparaît instantanément.

J'ai testé trois isolateurs USB low-cost facilement disponibles sur internet. Les trois remplissent parfaitement leur rôle. Celui de droite, souvent disponible pour moins de 10 euros, fonctionne très bien. Équipé d'une puce ADUM3160, il propose un débit USB largement suffisant pour fonctionner avec The 3FX. Je trouve juste que sa connectique est de qualité médiocre. Les deux autres modèles utilisent une puce compatible USB 2.0 et offrent surtout une connectique de bien meilleure qualité. Ces modèles sont disponibles pour 20 à 40 €.

Celui du centre est mon préféré pour sa connectique et sa polyvalence.

When you connect The 3FX to your computer via USB, a potential difference may appear between The 3FX's ground and your computer's ground. In certain setups (laptop switching power supply, USB hub, different mains outlets...), this ground loop results in an audible buzz at the audio output. The fix is very simple: just insert a USB isolator between your computer and The 3FX. This small device breaks the electrical connection while still passing USB data through — the grounds become independent again and the buzz disappears instantly.

I tested three cheap units easily available online. All three do the job perfectly. The one on the right, often available for under 10 euros, works very well. Equipped with an ADUM3160 chip, it offers more than enough USB bandwidth to work with The 3FX. I just find its connectors to be of mediocre quality. The other two models use a USB 2.0–compatible chip and, above all, feature much better connectors. These models are available for 20 to 40 €.

The one in the middle is my favorite for its connectors and versatility.

Quote from: ArtVark on May 05, 2026, 09:22:37 PMIs it possible to use the sensor X and Y to influence the E.STEPS and E.HITS of the sequence? I was really hoping to be able to dynamically change those so I can make more complex 'live' rhythms.
Yes, technically, but I don't see the point: changing the STEPS or HITS alters the Euclidean rhythm too drastically, in my opinion, for it to be interesting. Musically, you'd practically need to morph the HITS for it to sound good.
I think the MULTI SEQ would be more suitable for your needs.
