Re: sample "clicking" in rom machines

2006-08-15 by concreationist

Howdy-ho,

not sure if this applies as I don't have the UW. I had similar issues
where hihats would slap back on me after a long decay. What would
happen was I would stop the playback and three seconds later a loud
click from one of the hihats was heard. I never bothered to resolved
the issue as I could edit it out in the recording afterward but it was
a bit of a buggerance.

My point being, this might not be related to the ROM-machines at all
but to the way sounds are played with long sustain in the MD.
