Why is my low-end inconsistent?

Post by steelyphil »

I've been working on a wobble-bass patch that's shaping up, but for some reason the low end seems to drop out at random. I'll hit a key, and the sound will be nice and full. Then I'll hit another key (or the same key again) and the bass will be weak. It's almost sounds like it's on a slow, offbeat phaser. But whenever I hit a key, whatever the low-end sounds like (full or not) will stay like that until I release all keys and press another.

I've played with every option and I still can't get it to stop doing this. I just want the sound to be the exact same no matter what.

It's not a velocity sensitive problem. This is what I thought at first, but the same thing happens whether I tap or punch the keys.

Any help at all would be appreciated. This is driving me nuts!

Thanks for the quick reply... but unfortunately, both suggested fixes didn't solve my problem. I'm beginning to think it's just a quirk of the synth. Argh! I wish I could get to the bottom of this! haha

I would guess the problem is with the freq range of your monitors...
