s/h, mf-101 audible LFO problem

Hey dudes I’ve got another issue to sort out here. I want that classic sample and hold filter sound for a guitar solo (ala Zappa’s “Ship Ahoy”). My group is in the studio and the engineer/owner has the low pass 'fooger. I tried out the s/h filter patch example from CP’s manual, and it worked fine but with one apparent flaw: the CP’s LFO was putting out an audible signal clicking sound, make it pretty much unusable.

I’m wondering, is this what normally happens, is it a grounding issue, or something else? I need to have it solved by Monday, or scrap the idea.

Often they will click, especially at high resonance.

You could try the smoothed S&H output (output two on the CP-251) or use a lag processor.
