darcyb62ParticipantI’ve just noticed an issue with soft synths in that I am getting pops in the output sound. I’ve tried Cygnusm Stringz and String Theory and the same thing is occuring in all 3.
I’ m usally set to 2ms latency and if I bump it up to 25ms the frequency of pops decrease but do not really go away. BAck down to 2ms and the frequency of pops is higher.
CPU jumps between 20% and 50% but peaks in cpu don’t seem to correlate to pops.
I tried the same in Tracktion and there are no issues.
Cubase LE is fine as well.

ZynewaveKeymasterDo the pops occur with all your plugins or just the three you mentioned? If you bounce render offline, are there any pops in the bounced audio file?

darcyb62ParticipantI’ve gone through them 1 by 1 here are the results…
I’ve set up a 4 bar loop, with no more than 3 noted played simultaneously…
Bar (xoxos) – yes
Chill – yes
Cosmogirl II – no
Crystal – yes
Cygnus – yes
EffEm – yes
Etiquet – no
Etiquet2 -yes
EVM Grand Piano – yes (but very subtle)
EZ-Poli (krakli) -yes
FreeAlpha – no
Gargoyle – no
Lizard (krakli) – no
Chimera – yes
Vurtbox – yes
Morphoza – no
Neokiller III -yes (very high cpu though)
Richman2 – yes
String Theory – yes
Stringz – yes
4front bass – no
4front epiano – no
4front piano – no
Ninja – no
Oatmeal – yes (played note stops after pop)
Poliblit – yes (played note stops after pop)
Rebel2 – no
Rez – yes
Sampletank 2 free – noI tried all the above in Tracktion… None pop with the exception of Neokiller II with latency set to 2ms. If I increase latency to 10ms the problem goes away.
If I bounce render offline there are no pops even with with the worst setting on Neokiller II.

ZynewaveKeymasterI tried with Cygnus, and I was able to get pops with low latency setting. I’ll examine what causes this. The pops are only present during playback, and not while auditioning the synth live with MIDI in. Do you get pops when auditioning synths?

darcyb62ParticipantI don’t use a midi in. Everything is done from the paino roll.

ZynewaveKeymasterBug found. It turned out to be related to the preset system changes introduced in the latest release. I’ll make a bug-fix version tomorrow.
Thanks for pointing out this bug to me.
