Mini V Filter Switching

[avid9736]

Hello everyone,

New user here, and I have a question about the Mini V's filter.  I have attached screenshots, audio files, and a Pro Tools session to help explain what I'm talking about.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/9hjxqkgpld09si7/mini-v_filter-test.zip?dl=0

I've set up a single oscillator (sawtooth) with the filter's attack and decay times to about 2 seconds.  I also have the 'Amount of Contour' control set to max. 

For the first note, the sound proceeds as normal and the filter performs as expected (smooth and continuous). 

For the second note, sometime before the end of the attack (~4.5 seconds) and again sometime before the end of the decay (~6 seconds), it sounds like the filter is "switching" and not smooth or continuous.  The third note is identical with this behaviour and is quite consistent. 

I've set up an experiment with another soft synth (Vacuum), and to the best of my hearing, it behaves like I would expect (i.e., not switching, but smooth and continuous).

I guess my question is: is this normal behaviour?  If not, what am I doing wrong? 
If I've missed something and need to re-read the manual, and simple nod would suffice.

Thank you in advance for your time.

EDIT: At first, the previous behaviour happened.. but I've changed something (not sure what?) and the switching happens every time, regardless of playing more than one note.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

I recognize the type of behavior you are describing. I don't think that is "normal" behavior. At least not in that degree as it is to hard to control certain sounds with this behavior.

You also get this accumulation of the filter when playing in legato mode.

I actually think you should contact Arturia about this. Maybe post in the technical forum as well.

@LBH:

Thanks!  So are you implying that you can recreate the issue on your end as well?  I'd like to know I'm not the only one.

I've contacted Arturia, and I will make a tech post.

Yes i also experience odd filter behavior. Especially where there is room for the filter to accumulate relative to the created sound.

Great.
