My Multifx module doesn't appear to be changing programs, the display changes but not the sound, (it does alter with the knobs a bit). I have tried moving nearer the master module (due to this thread) but has not sorted, anyone else got any ideas? Has it ever worked? Or is this a problem that just came up? |

It was working fine, just didn't work one day when I went to use it again. I tried moving it nearer the Master Module as per a thread on the forum as it was as far away as it could be, and I've been adding more modules. Today I did check my Milliamps and I only pull 400ma for my whole system so shouldn't be that. |

I ask as mine is sensitive to what's powering it - if I run off mains (through power module) it's fine but off usb power bank I have to restart several times as it doesn't boot correctly.
Have you added any more modules? Got another PSU you could try? I wonder if you're at your limit in terms of what the psu can handle? Guesswork but things you could rule out - easiest way is to power just the one module to see what happens.

Guesswork but things you could rule out - easiest way is to power just the one module to see what happens. In theory I'm fine as, according to Grids, my system is pulling about 400ma... I am going to try putting a "stronger" PSU into the master module, see if that sorts it. If it doesn't, I was going to try taking some modules out as that has been the only change to my AE this year, but I have an empty case so can try the Multifx on it's own pretty easily, good idea. Thanks. |

There is something off with either the theoretical power consumption as described by modular grid or with the power modules cause it seems like the number of reported issues with digital based modules is going up as people are running more and more modules from one power module which on paper should be ok.

It may also be that there's some startup lag (to reach full power) on the psu that the digital modules don't like. |

That lag is definitely there, I notice that funny stuff happens if I don't wait before effectively inserting the plug into the Mastermodule |

Dragging open an old thread again.
Hoping someone could help just bought a multifx and it’s making a lot of noise. Crackling then going of like a fire work. The fx don’t seam to change when I change them.
turned the whole thing off and it didn’t do it. went back later and it was doing it again. I assume it’s not working but wanted to check before I sent it back. Which would be a shame as it would be the second faulty module I have received this month.
patch was a normal 2osc/d Lfo/env/vca cv for osc controlled via SEQ8 run through a wasp filter
it’s plugged into the mains and the modular had been on about 15 min

Hi blake, it's probably best to contact Robert directly. This doesn't sound right at all. |

Yeah, time to contact Robert. That thing is broken.

Thank you for the replies. I bought it from Juno so will talk to them as well.
I’m pretty new to modular synths is it common to have faulty modules as I have bought 5 additional modules since buying my starter kit and two have been faulty or am I just unlucky?

I'd say you're unlucky 😅. Got a 4x20 and 2 2x16 full of modules and only one was faulty.

That is unlucky, though it might point to an issue with either your power supply or master module. I wouldn't investigate/worry much now on two modules, but if you keep getting failures I would certainly have a chat with Juno/Robert about it. Good news is Roberts customer support is outstanding, so you won't end up without whatever you have for long. (Juno are pretty good too - they'll sort that I'm sure.) |

It's odd that the clicking etc. is still present with the 'wet' control at a minimum... I notice that the input level is all the way up too; perhaps the input is being overdriven? My MULTIFX generally has the input level set around the '11 o'clock' position...

The clipping led is not lighting up though. But you're right, if I were to drive my MULTIFX that hot it would definitely clip, I have my input level set to max 12 o' clock.

That’s good to hear. I have raised a ticket with Juno

2nd video showing the clicking with the dry all the way off. In case I’m doing something wrong

Robert has replaced my MultiFx, remember why I liked it now! Some great sounds (FX)....

In my recent troubleshooting I've noticed that my multifix is far and away the biggest source of noise in my rack. Going to have to do some fiddling there as I don't remember that always being the case...

Yeah, I dont remember having these issues with it either - I think it's picking up from something else I've added to the case. When I'm back in the mood for troubleshooting I'll see if I can find the culprit... |

Went digging - it's the ornament and crime causing the issue rather than the multifx itself.
