I haven't seen a reply to this yet. What I would do in your position is to try and locate the problem a bit more specifically
1) Does it happen with all waveforms from the MOTM 300?
2) At exactly what pitch range does it happen?
3) Is the cutoff point "hard" (it disappears within a few hertz)?
4) If you run the 300 through a VCF first, does that help the problem (or does it change the timbre too much to be useful)?
5) How about trying another sound source through the MOTM 110 in the same range where the problem happens (it sounds more like it's happening with the 110 than with the 300)? A 310? The Minimoog?
6) How about trying it with a different VCA? A MOTM 190? The Minimoog?
7) Can you try different (non-MOTM) EGs?
You might also want to see it on a scope -- I think there is a cap in there and maybe you installed it backwards?
Good luck!

I'm kindof convnced that it's the instant jump from 0v to wherever the
waveform being output by the 300 just so happens to be wehn the env starts.
that would explain why bass notes are worse that higher notes (because the
waveform is longer therefore a voltage jump more often makes a steeper
'angle')
anyways, can MOTM not make bass notes...??? what's the deal? Should I just
not bother trying anymore?
