Volume modulation artifacts

Colin Muir Dorward
I love my EFM, however, I would gladly give up 250 voices in exchange for smooth volume modulation of the operators. I spend so much time trying to edit out these little creaking sounds from my wobble basses or any "gated" type sounds... sigh.
Still a beast of a synth though.

Hi,
Can you share one of your sounds (in efm format) so we can check on our unit and see what can be done?

Hi, thanks for the reply. The worst case scenario is simply using an LFO to amplitude modulate a sine operator. Play a low bass note and the artifacts are plainly audible.
OK, so we can use a looping amplitude envelope instead; this is better, it's still not crystal clean AM at higher rates, and the other problem is we have a much more limited ability to tempo sync, since the envelope time scale resolution is quite coarse, and of course i cant do something like having the tremolo gradually increase or decrease without setting up a complex modulation matrix.
I'll make some program files and send them along to demonstrate.

Hi. Is this artifact happening for the same sounds on the XY Morpher?
