Try reordering those two cords.  In general, cords that modify the
amount of another cord should be placed in an earlier slot than the
cord they're modifying.

This is because the cords (unlike an analog synth) run sequentially
instead of simultaneously.  Most often this doesn't cause a problem,
but in this case, by the time the second cord updates the first, the
attack has already occurred.

This also occurs with Vel->Amp, CC->CordAmt combinations, causing a
blip of sound at low velocities before the cord kicks in.

By the way, every synth quick has it's uses too.  Because cords run
sequentially, you can create "filters" with the patch bay with multiple
cords, using the order of the cords as a delay element.  You can also
create "latching" cords to perform effects like sostenuto with the
patchbay too.
