Hello!
I recently acquired a Tree Frog Enner and am loving it. What a fascinating instrument–truly astonishing. I have a question regarding sound coming from the center pyramid. When I am patching the center pyramid without input from either the pulse-side or synth-side, electrical hum emits from the Enner. Does anyone have any guidance on how to eliminate this hum?
Thanks so much!
Some hum/feedback/bleed-through when touching the center pyramid (especially the top portion/delay lines) without patching anything into it is normal. Especially with the L and R delay lines.
I also have a him issue that seems to have popped up only recently. When it first arrived everything seemed to function as should. The him is definitely a grounding him tone, and seems to attenuate all the other signals. Except for noise, all other segments in the pyramid have the same hum even when no other pad is being touched. I’ve swapped AC adapters but doesn’t seem to help.
Autocorrect tried to help, but in fact I have a hum issue that seems to have popped up only recently. When it first arrived everything seemed to function as should. The HUM is definitely a ground HUM type of tone which seems to attenuate all the other signals.

To get rid of the hum (ground problem):
1) connect the Enner to a grounded mixer.
2) if you don’t use mixer like me, use a proper alim : I use the power supply of Microfreak and it eliminated the hum. I think because microfreak has touchplates, Arturia found the right power supply.
