Clicking sound when triggering some (?) samples

The previous updates did improve the clicking situation, however there are still some issues: Some samples that I trigger with my S2400 have a quiet loud clicking sound, while others dont. I can’t see a clear pattern behind it and I’m wondering why. It doesn’t seem to be related to the recorded sample at all!

See that attached video. Whats going on here?

  • Drum sample: Sampled form vinyl, 26K 12Bit
  • Melody “sample”: Imported and re-sampled (26K 12Bit) WAV file (from PC)

can you make the two samples available somewhere?

Sure. Just another hint: The clicking sample is my kick drum sample. Generally I like to play with filters and envelope on my drums. My melodic samples are usually not “edited that much”. So maybe its the combination of filters/envelope? Who knows!

Here’s the whole project: vague.zip - Google Drive (including samples).
Don’t get rich of my superfly beats please :wink:

Edit: also just realized, the drums were sampled from vinyl (in HiFi), but then resampled to LoFi as well

thanks, will have a look

Is this reproducible?

yeah

I think I fixed it, will be in the next release

Encountered the same issue with several samples (long melodic): Inconsistent pop/click sound even after snapping to zero crossing. Sometimes the click is not there when playing the sample with finger and adds itself after
The sequence has been recorded… Here is that annoying sound : Dropbox - IMG_1041.MOV - Simplify your life

If you hear carefully you’ll see that the click sound is changing along the presses (and sometimes disappears) - I never encountered this in any other sampler

@av500 cool, thanks for the update! :slight_smile:

I’m not 100% sure but the clicking sound seems to occur only when pressing on the pads very lightly and if you press hard, there is no click… here is an example with another sound: Dropbox - IMG_1043.MOV - Simplify your life
(@fexman Sorry I hope I do not hijack your thread with an unrelated issue - if that’s the case I’ll create another)

I know this is an old post but did you ever figure this out? I’m hearing the inconsistent pop/click that you’re describing at the beginning of my chops on a melodic sample in multimode and have no idea why. Doesn’t matter how I set the envelope, envelope type, or if the chops are at 0 crossing. Sometimes you hear it sometimes you don’t but it’s audible in the recorded sequence and it’s driving me crazy. Like you said, if you press the pad lightly then the pop/click is more pronounced.

This is weird behaviour. I’ve never encountered random clicking sounds on my unit, so maybe you have a faulty unit?

One thing I wonder is if this issue also occurs with the pad velocity turned off (meaning its playing full level all the time). You mention it occurs more often when pressing the pad lightly which makes me think it might have to do with the amp envelope opening and closing. I have pad velocity turned off on my unit at all times, how about you?

I have pad velocity turned off as well. It seems to stem from stacking samples in multimode. Every time I start to layer a third sample over the first 2 then the pops and clicks start to happen randomly at the start points of multi chops but the clicks aren’t specific to any position, they just happen at random. When I mute my tracks down to just 2 playing back then the clicks disappear for the most part. I’m laying all samples down in multimode and I think it has something to do with the way the multi chop triggers from different samples are interacting with each other in the sequence. Do you usually have more than 2 samples playing back at the same time in multimode on your sequences? I’ve contacted Isla. They’re going to get back to me tomorrow.
