I make all my own patches for the DN, and I frequently run into an issue where some patches are drastically louder or quieter than others. We’re talking something akin to a whisper vs. a scream. Obviously, some of them have distortion going on, which makes them louder, but other times, I can’t seem to figure out why one sound may be so drastically different than another. I also understand that different sounds will, by nature, have different levels, but I can’t believe it would be this much over so many sounds. It even happens when I listen to sounds which I personally think are similar enough that they should be at the same level.
I’m sure the answer to my question has to do with something regarding FM synthesis, but I don’t actually know, so I figured I’d ask this.
