Hi, I'm having an issue with one of my Zebra 2 presets causing huge audio spikes when the filter is opening which leads to audio dropouts when there's a limiter on the master. When the Zebra is muted, the problem is gone. As soon as I unmute the track, the whole track starts to stutter.
Here is the preset:
I attached an audio example in this message so you can hear what I'm talking about.
I tried adding a compressor set to max values as you can see on the screenshot but the result was the same.
I also added a screenshot of the audio waveform and the MIDI data. You can see that the spikes are mainly introduced when the filter (CC1) is opening.
I think this is a programming issue on my end but I can't see where the problem is.
If someone could take a look at it, it would be appreciated! Thanks.

The filter type you selected, "Xcite", can do that with fast modulations at very low cutoff values. This "bump" that you see happens at note release in this case. In your patch, note release closes the filter quickly, and with a low cutoff value you get this bump with the "Xcite" type.
You can either pick a different filter type, or raise the release of ENV2 a bit, making it slower (perhaps to counteract this, lower ENV1 release to get the short notes back).

Thank you Viktor, I just raised the Release of ENV2 and it seems that the spikes are now gone!
