Either do what Bob says (introduce a little attack), or make sure "retrigger" is turned on. This will start that oscillator at the beginning of its phase cycle, rather than some point in between itself. This will also be visually reflected in the window.Hanz Meyzer wrote: Mon May 15, 2023 2:28 pm The monophonic mode seems to produce clicks on note-start, I guess there is some declicking algorithmic stuff missing? Maybe internally limit to 2 voices minimum and "micro-crossfade" it then?

My remixes of this haven't improved it so here's my attempt this month. Seven out of eight people can dance to this.
https://soundcloud.com/taptapdoubletap/ ... -the-seven
DAW: Live 11
Apricot x10
No third party effects (there's plenty of creative options in the synth). No return channels.
Each track has an EQ8, Utility, Saturator (in clip mode) and Compressor.
The master has EQ8, Compressor, Glue Compressor, Utility and Limiter.

Dead Duck: AutoPan, Filter, MonoDelay, Limiter
ReaEQ, ReaXComp
OrilRiver Reverb (but mostly the Apricot reverb)

Ok, guys here is my track for this month I think I got a very decent result given I had to use the Ildaeil wrapper plugin to get it to work. I would have liked to have had the extra automation of the synth's parameters but I mostly worked around this.
I used Ableton Live with Ildaeil with 15 instances (hence the name) and there effects EQ eight, Drum Buss, LoudMax, Utility, Glue compressor, Saturator, Ozone Imager 2, LFO, Reverb, Auto Filter, Arpeggiator.
