Modular synth fault finding: Difference between revisions

Line 6:
* you need low impedance from the power supply to every module.
* you need to have a ground the does not move at all. by move, I mean the voltage at ground is no different from ground anywhere else in the system. differences in electrical potential, especially differences that change rapidly over time, are the source of the noise.
* there are two kinds of noise, common mode, and differential mode. anything can happen in a synthesizer. the voltage ref is also a power rail.<ref>[https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=233927 Explanation of how modules "putting noise on the ground" bus?], Mod Wiggler Forum, June 2020</ref>
