Elektron Musical Instruments

Ok, ok... off my lazy ass.

I notice "distortion" on the generic sin machine above about 90 with the
main level at tick number six, but only on the attack of the waveform.  Turn
the envelope release up to 127 so the note never ceases, and I only notice
distortion at high values above 120 or so - and it's pretty faint.

The distortion comes during the AD stage - slow down A and D, and you can
hear the distortion come and go, and this happens every time you trigger a
note, but fades away once you get to about the release stage of the
envelope.

My guess is that the level of the AD stage is higher than that of the
release stage kind of like it is in a traditional ADSR envelope.  Perhaps
someone at elektron forgot to normalize the waveform amplitude taking this
additional level into account for the sin synth?

just keep the volume low if you want smoooth, harmonic free sines.
