    The buzzing noise

    What's up with the strange high pitched buzzy noise that accompanies every bass note? Every bass sound has an accompanying tone that can't be filtered out. Here is a youtube video of it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hcfoaEnjKKU is this normal? This is somewhat of a sound design problem.

    Please provide more details. There are various FX settings that might cause something like this depending on how applied. Can you share your preset?

      It was happening with basically all non-distorted bass drums. I would make a bass drum preset and as the bass drum would decay at the end of it there would be a kind of 'zzzuuup' noise, like a degraded echo of the drum as it fades out. The bassier and longer a sound is the more it would do it. You can hear it a little even with the base Kick model, it is like a bitcrushed sounding echo but there's no rate crush or anything like that and it is also mostly after the main bass drum noise.

      It is like there is something else resonating along with the bass noise, but it is definitely a sound coming out of the speaker. It does not happen with a sampled bass drum. Interestingly, adding effects seems to reduce the instance of this happening / make it sound like natural drum resonance. When I make FM drums on my eurorack I can end up with a lot of strange bad resonating noises but I filter them out with a low pass, however, the noise seems to happen after the drum filter because I can't seem to filter them out. It is mainly an issue making long "normal" 808-style kicks. Of course I can just use a sample and it isn't an issue.

      I don't think it is for normal kicks because whenever I get weird with it it sounds much better and quite awesome. I like it but it is a really weird drum machine.

        Here is a clearer recording of the sound. An internet friend suggest it has something to do with the DAC bitrate? I don't know but it is a very unwanted sound that I can not get rid of. It does not seem like anyone else is able to get this sound either, perhaps my unit is defective in some way? https://soundcloud.com/r-k-v/nano

          https://soundcloud.com/r-k-v/nano2 here is a recording. this has the low pass filter all the way down so you can hear the noise a little better. would it be possible to have a filter end-of-chain on drum voices to filter out this sort of noise?

          I also made this really crappy youtube video, sorry i sound exasperated: https://youtu.be/IreP_3AdQDY?t=79

            Can you please share a preset that shows the issue? Audio is great but with a box like the razzmatazz, there are several factors to consider. In this case, it would be better if I can dig into your actual preset.
