just found out that if you have a deep bass sample layed on several pads in different tunings you can get ugly pops when theres only little time between
two notes. (even if you set a little attack or use copies of the sample on different pads)

to avoid this make shure you have the master gain turned up to 0db.
if its -12db or lower you will hear them.
just wanted to let you know!

"zero-crossing isn't the issue right? is the sample chopped properly?"

yes its chopped properly. so if i hit a pad once, theres no pop.
if i hit a pad two times(fast) theres no pop.but if you hit a pad and then hit another pad (same sample in diff. tuning) there is a pop.
this popsound is kind of different to a normal pop i here when i cut
off the decay of a sample in my daw without a fade. it sounds a bit like a fast randomwave:
kind of sound like digital machines getting crazy.
