MEK distortion affecting env.???

MEK distortion affecting env.???

2007-10-05 by dhamaryder

I just came upon the strangest thing and I cannot figure it out at all. I was working on a 
simple patch with the digital oscillators. I added a bit of distortion and all of a sudden the 
envelopes stopped working. I had them set to 100% sustain with a long delay. But when I 
added the distortion to a setting of 2 it would only play a short note and then the sound 
would stop.  It also wouldn't retrigger until I allowed a certain amount of time to pass. 
Tried all different key modes and nothing affected it.  Removed the dist. and it would play 
as normal.  Wow, I've never come across anything like that before. Anyone have any idea 
what's going on?
