gain structure issues JJ vs. akai

has anyone else noticed that the JJ os has a lower output headroom than
the akai os?
try loading the same complex pattern with many tracks all using different programs on JJ os,then the akai os-
I tried it both before and after a spliff,so I dont think its just my head tripping----
like,i have to go from -6 akai os to -12 JJ on the master output,plus reduce the levels of each pad in each program to avoid massive distortion-
seems the more voices,the more problematic.
comments?ideas?

Interesting... although your wording was a little confusing... let me clarify... so you are saying that with the JJ OS, a certain program and sequence will distort that did not distort with the AKAI OS?

If so...

Did you originally create the program in the AKAI OS and then load it with the JJ OS, or vice versa?
