Perhaps this is a simple poly/mono issue...

I'm building a modular patch based around the Waldorf wavetable oscs to do my bass synth stuff. Pretty straightforward arch:

OSC -> LPF -> VCA -> Out
| | |
Env0 Env1 Env2

Now, the whole idea is quick and punchy, right? So I'm testing some quick lines where a next note arrives before the previous note has completely released. But this results in nasty clicks... I've softened the attacks of the envelopes, but this doesn't seem to help if the release time is long enough that the notes overlap.

I suspect this might be an issue where I need to set some of the envelopes to monophonic and some to to poly, but I could be way off base. I've tried a couple combinations to no avail. I'm hoping someone can explain how this might be used here, or if the voice of experience caould come swooping in and save the day...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

eh... html ate my ascii diagram

basically theres an envelope on each stage: wavetable osc, LPFc, and VCA

...but you figured that out already ;]
