I’m also experiencing clicking under certain conditions, I now found a simple way to reproduce this and I’m pretty sure that in my case it has little to do with voice stealing or too short attack times.
Here’s the repro (OS 1.30A):
-Create a new project
-Make the following adjustments to the T1 and T2 (init) sounds:
T1: Filter: LP4, freq 66, reso 127, on Trig page set note length to 1/32th
T2: Filter: LP4, freq 110, reso 127, on Trig page set note length to 1/32th
(the only difference between T1 and T2 sounds is the filter frequency)
-On the scale page make sure that there are 4 pages (64/64) to enter the sequence below:
page 1: 8 trigs of T1, all odd steps, same (default) note
page 2: 8 trigs of T1, all odd steps, same (default) note
page 3: 8 trigs of T2, all odd steps, same (default) note
page 4: 8 trigs of T2, all odd steps, same (default) note
(there may be a more efficient way to get the same sequence of well separated notes)
-Press play and pay attention to the beginning of each note…
Result:
I expected that the 16 notes from T1 (page 1 and 2) would all sound the same, but this is not the case; the first 8 notes (page 1) sound identical to each other but different from the 8 notes on page 2. And with the first 8 notes of T2 (page 3) I can hear a distinct click that I don’t hear with the following 8 notes of the same sound (T2, page 4).
After some experimentation and checking the voice page, I noticed that if a voice is first used by T1, then by T2, the first note of the T2 sound will start with an audible click, at least with these sound settings. Also when going from T2 to T1 on the same voice, the first T1 note will sound different than the next (all following notes). One work-around is to prevent that voices are used by different tracks, or use an LP2 filter instead of LP4.
It may perhaps look silly to apply these (or any) filter settings to a sine, I was just looking for the simplest way to reproduce this by starting off with the init sound, and the above filter settings were all it took. I’m not sure if these filter settings are actually causing this, or just accentuating something else. But it doesn’t occur with LP2 or HP. I didn’t record it yet to check what the wave looks like…
Hope some of you can reproduce this, or perhaps even have a logical explanation for this…
Cheers,
Albert
