Juergen
Now I understood what you meant but it isn't the case I believe
To make things easy : when sweeping with ribbon from a whatever note beyond
100Hz I plainly hear a kind of filter tracking below 100Hz down to 0 and the
same happens if I have for example to play low C at 16': if I transpose it
while keeping the note held I hear that "tracking" too. You can repeat the
test yourself; I heard this kind of effect in almost all recordings
featuring the CS polysynths where full ribbon sweeps were made.
If the PH board could be in this affair it could be , I guess, by
"supplying" a little extra power to the outputs at low pitches, tracking up
to no effect at high pitches.
Anyway, the fact is I hear a tracking.
