I noticed something odd with KORG Gadget's limiter and was wondering if anyone else could verify this. With the Limiter engaged--even with its amount set to 0--it introduces into the audio what can be best described as a "ringing-feedback-buzz" sound at around 676Hz.
To best hear it, create a new song and select London. Verify that the Limiter is ON and its amount set to 0. Open the track editor and enter a kick drum. Change the kick drum to BD Sub-O and tune it to -24. Return to the mixer view and hit Play. Toggle the Limiter off and back on and you should hear the ringing artifact go away and come back.
If I fiddle with the tuning of the kick drum, the ringing-buzz remains at the same pitch, so it's not some weird artifact of a sample being tuned way down. It's more or less noticeable with different kick drums and different tunings. I can use the Tokyo gadget and turn the decay on its default "SD201" kick drum patch all the way up and hear it as well.
I hadn't noticed it until I updated to 1.0.2, so I reverted to version 1.0.1 but the ringing is still there. It's audible in exports to SoundCloud, too. The only thing I don't know is if it's related--although I'm not sure how it would be--to my recent iOS update from 7.0.4 to 7.0.6, or if it's something that's always been there and I just never noticed it before. Or if this is really a "feature" and I'm just unaware I'm supposed to appreciate it.
So, is there anyone else who's noticed this? Or can replicate it? Or knows if it's supposed to do this?
KORG Gadget Limiter Bug?

Yes I can confirm this. Looks like it does it with low frequencies.
Use any gadget to produce a very low, almost inaudible, frequency (using the LP filter set to a low cutoff and a C0 note for example), and you can hear it.
I don't know why it's doing it but yes, the limiter is adding the ringing sound.
