Hi, thanks for the quick reply, I've been pretty busy, so I apologize for my slow response.
I saved out a patch where I was seeing this happen... (usually I'm pretty bad and never save patches, just let the DAW project remember the settings)
Anyway, the steps to reproduce this are pretty simple, I basically have the project open in my DAW (reaper) for a long time... for example I left my PC on overnight (backups run at night) and left Reaper running with the project up... this morning it was making that noise again... Some additional info I just learned while saving out the patch, when I change patches, it seems to reset and things sound okay...
