Ok, i was using unedited preset sounds here, not turning any knobs.   
Right out of the box a machine should NOT do that if i put a bass drum  
with 16th notes over it.   i didn't even know about those filters till  
yesterday!!!

so i wasnt doing anything extreme here,

ok do this, go to an empty sequence, put C1 of "Lectrophonic" (038^3)  
on 16th notes 1,11, and 12 with velocity of 84.  put D1 of  
"Lectrophonic" on 16th notes 5,8, and 13.  now go to track/channel 2  
and put C3 of "WayFayer" (113^1) on every 16th note for the bar, also  
velocity of 84.  And i still get the popping if i set the velocity of  
C1 and D1 of "Lectrophonic" to 5!!!

Lots of popping, Never touched filter settings, just using presets.

Setting the Q to 0 doesn't get rid of the popping either.  And the  
popping isn't consistent.  It always happens on a drum hit, but  
sometimes it skips a few.  But it always goes away upon removal/change  
of that filter (to a different one)...

So I wasn't trying to do anything crazy.  I layered 2 presets and boom.  
(more like pop) there it was.  I'm just saying they could have done  
better testing.  I wish i could just stick a limiter in that thing.

I'll bring the drum machine to work today and get the pattern off it.
