New Sub Phatty loud popping noise when changing presets

Post by obstacle66 » Fri Nov 29, 2019 6:12 pm

Hi,

Just got a brand new Sub Phatty, and after I change between some presets, the first note played on new preset emits a loud pop (louder than any note would be otherwise). If I wait 10+ seconds before playing a note, the pop seems to not happen. If I had to guess, I would imagine that a capacitor is discharging somewhere. Is this normal behaviour?

This is nothing like this on my SubPhatty.
keep on turning these Moog knobs

Sequence:
Prodigy * minimoog '79 * Voyager * MF102 * MF103 * MF104z * MP201 * Taurus 3 * Minitaur * Sub Phatty * MF105 * Minimoog 2017+ MUSE * One 16

Here is a short video to illustrate the issue:

It only happens between certain presets. Aside from the preset shown in video, it also happens after factory 4-3 preset. Whether it pops also depends on what preset is next, it doesn't affect all combinations.

Thank you.

Looks like the release section of one of the envelope is not finished when switching the preset. It is normal for an analog envelopes to have a certain latency in changing to the new envelope parameters due to their mainly capacity based design.
But I am not sure if the SubPhatty got analog envelopes or digital created, CV via a D/A sending envelope.
