The Proteus Mono out feeds into a line balance transformer and into the balanced input on a Yamaha 24 channel mixer board. We have the following problems: 1) The 6 lowest base notes drive the mixer board crazey. It looks like spikes are being inserted into the signal at about 2 hertz. 2) Every so often during performances, the synth surges - that is if gets really loud and then returns to normal volume. I have seen it do this when noone was even touching the volume pedle. Any suggestions?
