Clicking sound.

[bace]

There seems to be some bugs in the sound generator. Here are a very short example.
Happens on many patches. A noisy click sound is heard when switching note-key.
Cubase 5.5.1 on osx 10.6.4
http://bacesw.110mb.com/JP8BazzOfTheTimes.wav in 32-bit float format.

view in cubase

This is version 2.0.0.0

I'm probably wrong about this, but are you sure that your Release values in the ADSR for both Filter and Amplifier are not too low? This could cause such a sonic artifact to occur.

[bace]

It's a presets. (The same goes for many of the presets) And yes you can do a click if you would like. But in this case it's not, and it is not consequent.  And I very confused why people dont complain about t it. Is it only the mac version that have this problem?

[tommym]

I am sorry. My Mac v.2 software does not do clicks. Sometimes I program a patch with too much level, due to Resonance, for example. That will distort. But you say it is the Presets - which Presets, exactly? thanks!

[bace]

The wav file is named after the preset patch.

[tommym]

I tried to get the wav sound (not in cubase format, just the .wav) and it said 'no longer available'

Try to do a cut&past of the URL.

[tommym]

Thanks. I just did a cut and paste of the URL, and listened to the file.
It's strange. It didn't sound 'wrong' to me. I think that's just a very fast attack time on one or both of the ADSR Envelopes. (or possibly a very fast decay.)

I allso have problem with "clicking". Its not on every note, but occures randomly when playing chords etc. Its at the beginning of a note, and its not a CPU spike. But, its not only with JP8, i allso have the problem with the miniMg. Strange thing is that it happens allso with long attacks.

[tommym]

Sounds like running out of voices maybe, and the Instrument "stealing" a voice that may be already sounding? Unless it happens on a first note after a silent period too.

I too have this clicking sound - could it be my onboard sound card?  Using Windows 7 64Bit?
Is there a recommended sound card?

[bace]

It's for sure not your soundcard. It's a bug. Seems to in prophet v2 too. I was about
to checkout if the problem was on my local shop too, but they have removed the jupiter from
the installation on order from the distributor. The other from the collection was there.

So you think there is not a fix for this click ?

I was just demoing Jupiter 8v and noticed the same clicking on most presets. It's not on first note/chord, but appears when playing a sequence. I think it's some strange ADSR thing, because I got rid of the click on some presets by tweaking VCF ADSR. It's not as simple as attack or release being too quick tho, it's a combination of many parameters.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be this way, but the synth engine seems quite unpredictable when it comes to playing consecutive notes in other ways too.

This behaviour is propably a decision maker for me, it's a big turn off..

After a bit more tweaking I'm leaning more towards the sound programming and that the filter envelope can't handle quick attack very well..
