Re: trx b2 problem with machinedrum os 1.12b

2004-08-18 by endlessnessisticman

The only thing I can think of is maybe it is the nature of the b2
wave?  Maybe it has an offset?  It might start at different times in a
wave cycle depending on the pitch or frequency?  Or the click noise
may be inconsistant.  You should ask Elektron about this.  Maybe we
can get some info on the nature of the B2.

In any case I think it's great.
