Aaron:

I have tested just those samples (among many others)
by sampling my XL-7 via the S/PDIF out with all
engine components disabled or at nominal levels...

the basic analog waveshapes are far below 0dbFS, so
that is why I assumed there is a large degree of
gain scaling occurring in the engine itself...even
when boosting a layer via +10 gain, it is still below
full scale.


cheers,
aeon
