Subject: RE: [motm] my clicking & popping bass notes

thanks a lot for the reply - great questions!

1) Does it happen with all waveforms from the MOTM 300?

yes

2) At exactly what pitch range does it happen?

it sort of dissapears at about 6 on the 300.. BUT, i'm not sure if it really
dissapears, or is harder to hear because it blends more with the tone

3) Is the cutoff point "hard" (it disappears within a few hertz)?

no, gradual

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)?

it is being put through a vcf right now, helps a bit, but like you said, i i
make the click go away, so does the rest of the sound!

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?

it clicks

6) How about trying it with a different VCA? A MOTM 190? The Minimoog?

no problems

7) Can you try different (non-MOTM) EGs?

unfortunately, no


You might also want to see it on a scope -- I think there is a cap in there
and maybe you installed it backwards?
yes, I wish i had a scope!

so, it's the vca.....
