I'm trying to use DX7 V to make a bell sound. And it sound great! Except for a nasty click/pop at the start of each note. It's still present once the audio is rendered. I've tried going between a 256, 512, and 1024 sample size buffer, no change. Doesn't matter if its 8 voice or 16 voice polyphony. I even tried putting a little bit of attack on the envelopes--no dice, still popping each time the next note starts. It also doesn't matter whether I use FL Studio ASIO, Tascam US-2x2 ASIO Driver, or ASIO4ALL.
I'm at a loss.

Hi and welcome to Arturia forums.
It will help to check, if you post the preset.
-
Thank you, and sure thing. It's not a preset that comes out of the box, but one compiled from a bank of bell sounds for the DX7. Here's a link to it. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-y2XM2ZB1X_jLW5XGK9JdJcAHmHRCcZO/view?usp=sharing)
What's bizarre is I hear it on other presets at times, but sometimes not. Sometimes even on the same preset, it will do it, then I reload it and it won't.
EDIT: Sorry, I should say the click/pop is not noticeable until I start using processing on mixer inserts. Like chorus effects, flanging, anything that duplicates it into multiple voices. Even Unison, it shows up.

FYI: It's possible to attach files to posts.
Do you mean the click like you also can hear clearly in the factory preset "ROM2A 28-Bells"?
-
Thanks, I realize this now. :)
And yes, just like that one.

I don't find anything i can say is clearly wrong in your preset. It's normal a synth have a attack click. It's more or less audioble on different sounds, and usually it's most audioble when using sine wave sounds with sharp attack and/or release envelopes. But yes there is a click. In some sounds it's adding
I don't have a original DX7, so it's hard to compare, but you can also hear clicks on different sounds here: 1983 Yamaha DX7 with original factory data cartridge 1 and 2 - playing all 128 sounds 1080p: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0rWZb1xuSE
In example i accidently hit the time 17:09. A lot of click on the original DX7 there.

I understand that, but I think what's bothering me is I have sequenced 16 1/8 notes in a 2-bar phrase, with a 1/16 slapback delay, so once it's all said done and compressed to be plucky, I'm hearing an obnoxious 1/16th note popping in my ear. I'm just trying to see if there's some way to remedy that.

Like maybe just something I'm missing or doing wrong. I'm still fairly new to V Collection having only purchased it about two months ago!
-
May have solved it! I turned down the Rate 1 parameter on the DX7 envelope on all operators. Click is still there, but it is not as noticeable. I'll keep playing with it and see what I can find! Appreciate the responses. :)
-
Your welcome.
I guess it's about finding ways, like you have. It could perhaps also be by using 2 sound sources where one sound is edited and only is for the delay. And sometimes panning the effect might help, and so on. If a sound has a click it has, and that click will be in a delay for that sound.
Thanks for reporting back. :)
Cheers.

I was actually using four instances at once like a TX816, panned and detuned and such. Some of the ticking probably came from the delay, so by the time the two were combined...the ticking was louder than the synth.
-
Yes. But i wrote edited. Meaning sounds where the click was edited out or a different sound just for the delay (100% delay no Dry signal.), - if possible.
And the panning was for the effect so that was apart from the original sound - again if possible.
I did'nt suggest you used multiple instances of the same sound.
