Re: [Evolver] Strange click sound in the beginning of notes?

Nothing strange about it...the envelopes are so fast at the short end of 
the scale that they create an impulse...a very narrow pulse wave 
theoretically containing all harmonics...noise in other words. You can 
use this to your advantage to help make keyclick on organ timbres, etc...

Until I got the PEK/PER, only my Waldorf gear was capable of this. It 
was nice of Dave not to truncate the envelope response to a "safe" 
zone...there are some other parameters that veer outside the normally 
useful range. I say BRAVO! ;)

Best Regards, James
