Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Yes I have this problem too. On my mono desktop evolver the HPF is
very noisy when engaged and this problem is compounded when using the
distortion. Let me know if you want me to contact DSI support to back
you up on this and let me know what their solution is - I'd like to
get this fixed but had assumed it must have been a programming problem
since the HPF is digital.
