Hmm, mine does it too, I assumed it was just the filter being
overdriven, and I told him so in another forum. If it's actually a
problem, it can't be all that rare. Ravi, do D/L that sysex patch and
make sure it's not something that's occuring on your machine, too.
Now I'm a bit worried.

I mean that it should be an issue with extremely few units, *not* common to all Evolvers. The analog chip is the culprit and as the chips were hand picked, the plan was no evolvers would have any issues, but as always, analog chips create issues. It looks like you may have one that needs something done. Bummer if so. I remember seeing messages on the Waldorf lists from the company saying, "you need to send your unit in, etc." Indeed I did have to replace my MWXT when I got it for some wierd distortion noise, so it just isn't analogs. I have spoken to Dave regarding this and I am sure you and any few others will be taken care of to your satisfaction.

Hi there...again...(I'm Juno60 over at the-gas-station)

The more I play around with this, the more confusing it gets...as
though it's not just a simple 'overload' problem.

NEXT EXPERIMENT:
If you've downloaded that SysEx patch of mine, try this: call up that
patch and go straight to the Resonance control. I think it's
currently set at 7. Now, on my unit, adjusting the Resonance up to
between 12 and 20 or so, the strange noise completely goes away.
Then, continuing to turn the Resonance up, once it reaches about 30
or 35, the noise shows up again but it's even more annoying.

RAVI - when you said this was a "rare problem" did you mean it only
happens in certain units? Or, is this common to all Evolvers?

I emailed Dave yesterday, but I know he's a busy man at this point.
Like you said, I'm sure he knows about this already and he's working
on a fix, but in the meantime I was just trying to find out if there
was something wrong good old Serial #22 :)
