Thanks again Lugia, that is all good advice! I've got a power supply coming for it next week, I think I will just use the USB cable for firmware updates going forward. I don't really need the SQ-64 to be connected to my DAW anyway, I'm primarily using it to send sequences to my modular rack, then I connect my output module to an audio interface connected USB3 to my DAW if I want to record.
Thanks Lugia, I am powering over the supplied USB cable, I bet that is the the problem! I will give that a try!
So I own one of these, and I've noticed that when I am using it as CV gates over the 3.5mm outputs I am getting a lot of line noise. I don't seem to have this issue when I am using the included TRRS midi interface. Maybe I just haven't figured out how to gain stage it properly, or I don't have all the settings tweaked just right. I typically connect it to the individual trigger CVs on a 1010 Bitbox MK2, and it's coming through enough to be noticeable on recordings that I am doing. When I turn it off an use other modules and trigger it from 3.5 mm outputs on my Arturia MicroFreak, it goes away completely, so I am sure it's the Korg SQ-64 that's causing it. Has anybody else run into this problem?
