Re: K4r filter

2004-05-07 by sealed77

Hi, Roman.

I too have experienced K4r's filter pop, and it's quite annoying.
The pop appears when the filter envelope reaches the top. It often 
comes with fast decayed envelopes.

One solution is to set negative envelope depth, a minus value. Then 
the maximum cutoff value never exceed the limit of 100, and the pop 
noise doesn't appear.

If you experienced something about this pop problem - is there some 
k4r that has no such problem, or is there other ways to avoid this - 
please let us know.

Thanks,
Sealed
