Why is the Ion so quiet?

It's tricky, since a synth with all of these parameters that can effect volume can very easily just make a quiet patch, but it really seems like it's too quiet across the board, and has for a while.

serendipatree, you got anything on this?

It seems kind of naughty of electronic musicians to give "effect" an additional verb meaning that is very similar to "affect".

Um, You've checked the patch volumes in both the patch volume parameter (right-hand volume knob) and in the set-up output level parameter (pg 3, soft-button 1 under "edit part")?

Beyond that I know that among problems Ion users have had is the amplifier going south.

I usually end up putting the gain on my board about a quarter of the way up for the Ion.

Keep me informed.
