Sure - but please forward your request to support so they can take care of
it: support@.... We don't always monitor list posts, so we might
have missed this one if we weren't sick of listening to election
projections and decided to work late.
I'll make sure I do a review of the disk and pass it. You can help - by
letting support know which patch (if many, just state one) is in question.
Jeff is doing more of the support stuff now, he'll be happy to work on it.
Let him know what version and build you are using, and of course make sure
on your end that you are using the latest, which is 1.3 Build 20. He'll
give you are response maybe tomorrow (hey, it's Sunday), for sure Monday.
(BTW, what virtual clicks thread are you speaking of? I looked for it but
couldn't find it. Unless you are referring to a hi-hat as a click?)
Lastly, I know that usually a tweak of adding +1 to the Attack Offset in
the Group (or general parameters) is a good workaround to this issue. In my
experience, the EXS (especially on the Mac) is SO responsive that when a
sound starts at a non-zero value, it "clicks." It's sort of like the Roland
S-7x - you'll see that on many of their sounds the attack is set to 1
instead of 0 for this very reason (in their case more on low frequency bass
sounds).
