Nord Stage controlling Animoog gunshot sound

Weird issue using Nord Stage to control Animoog. I get a gunshot type attack at the beginning of each sound. A Pee-oooo noise sound. After 1/2 second or so the sound settles down and works correctly. Happens on every note, every patch.

Setup: Nord Stage External section → MIDI → Alesis iODock → iPad 2 → Animoog

Stage works great controlling Sunrizer, Magellan, and Beatmaker. Only Animoog has the issue.

Has to be some setting that I can’t find. Any ideas?

Thanks!
