Minitaur clipping noise

Hi all,

Today I’ve recieved my brand new Minitaur, and I’m very happy with… except for one thing that kinda worries me. I’m hearing clipping noises very often, right when a note kicks in. I haven’t been able to find out exactly when a note clips. It seems quite random, as it’s not just the loud or high/low notes that clip…

Here’s a sound sample so you can hear it. (sorry about the lousy playing!)

Does anyone else have this issue? Or do you know a way to minimalize it?

I’ve tried everything I can think of the get the clipping noise away; tweaking the output signal, using different amps, different midi controllers (Roland PK5, Roland Xp50), different midi cables, grounded sockets etc. I don’t use USB, just a midi controller.

Thanks!

I just turn the attack up until the click is gone…
Unless I want the click. I have made some sick sounds with the attack and decay almost all the way down and running through some effects.
