Hey, brillant idea, why doesn Waldorf do that?
ends up in a very bad MIDI timing (and those japanese synths are **well-known** for that). Furthermore, most of these synths are sample-based, which means that their attack behaviour is stored in the sample that they should play. So, a click on note start is also not possible because the sample somehow gradually fades from zero to maximum. If those synths allow you to change the sample start position, they hopefully produce clicks, too (if not, they also have slow envelopes which we don’t hope). A couple of days ago, someone mentioned the Matrix 12 producing no clicks on retriggering envelopes. Yes, that’s correct, because the Matrix 12’s minimum attack rate is around 20ms. Or in other words: its envelopes are among the slowest you can find in a synthesizer. The same applies to all synthesizers of the Matrix series, because they all used Curtis chips that had an automatic smoothing filter to prevent steppiness. The older Oberheim synths like the 4-Voice were better here. Also, the Wald
