My 190 doesn't click, at least not anymore than my SH-2 does. or any 
other synth I own. I'm running through a Soundcraft Spirit board into 
Mackie monitors. It's certainly not anything that's making bass 
sounds difficult, if I'm using really low freq I just move the attack 
up just slightly on the 800 and the click ceases completely and I get 
really snappy smooth bass.
