Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I think I figured the source of the "nasty" glitches.It's the delay.
I loaded the 3.0 sounds(via midiox).
Say for example,patch D-015,a sweet melody,which has lfo3 and 4 to 
delay time 2 and 3.The evolver led shows no clipping but there are 
some really nasty clip-like sounds,like a broken vinyl in 4 bits.
Also,I've noticed this with all the patches wich involves delay time 
modulation,or delay level modulations,or even without modulation.
The second i turn the delay level down(and/or disable the 
modulations),all of these problems dissapear, the sound is ok,even 
with a high degree of feedback,and even if the evolver clip led 
stays always red-actually,it sounds really cool that way.
I know,i can use another delay,but i just wonder,is it just my evo 
with this problem or it's the same with all of them ?
I have a 2.0 evolver.
