Moog One VCA Thump

Post by Nucleus » Mon Dec 14, 2020 2:22 pm

Hello,

I would like to check something with you proud Moog One owners...

Moog One16 one week old, brand new from store.

To reproduce:

Create INIT Patch
Turn down all Oscillators in the mixer to 0
Turn up master volume
Start hitting a key repeatingly

My case:
Noisy envelopes (ok I get that)
A loud thump every 15th and especially 16th note prominantly in the attack and a little bit less in the release phase.
I also increased the attack time of the three envelopes but that does not make any difference. The thump keeps on standing out like a sore thumb.
I know gain is massive but if I return to sensible levels it is still very noticable. It became obvious when playing with arpeggiated bass sounds. Every sixteenth note gives this thump.

I have audio recording and waveform picture but I cannot attach it here since I get ättachment quota reached" error. Great!

Thanks

Update
Found it is related to the noise reduction parameter. If you put that to 0dB the thump is gone.....

Everything more than 6db makes it quite obvious. Factory default I believe it was on 45dB.

Okay. I run mine at 3db. I will have to check out the other settings and report back.
