I get a similar problem all the time!!!!

Happens on a very intermittant basis.  While using an envelope as 
clock source, I smack a key and can get that typical repeating and 
pitch shifting "Daaaaaaaa-daaaaaaaa-daaaa-da-da-da-da da" noise, and 
then when it feels like it, it stops responding.

Also, depending on how I have the delay clock knob position, I'll 
get this extremely high resonant noise.  Sometimes it's more subtle 
like the frequency it's producing is so high that it's not in the 
audible spectrum, but its enough to hurt my ears.  I fear that I've 
even damaged a bit of my high-end with this....

Is this a defect in the unit, or is that the clock noise that the 
manual talks about generally requiring an LPF?  And if it is, where 
exactly should the LPF be inserted?
