Hi - all my plugins pops at the beginning of low freq notes, no matter what. At the beginning I thought it was just the minid, but it's actually all plugins. The only solution is to raise the attack to a point that it changes the nature of the sound. I've tried everything, does anybody know why it happens?

P.s. I'm not using any external audio interface

No processing at all. Although I think it's a MiniD bug. I could replicate it on the laptop vst. Such a pain. I have an entire track riddled with these clicks, I thought I would eventually get rid of them.
I suppose they did it to model the original moog, which does have this problem due to the analog VCAs, but it's less evident than on the MiniD.

An additional fix might be to add a filter in the effects chain to take some of the edge off. If you're using this for bass, then that should hardly make an audible difference, but it should round off the beginning of the wave nicely.

I don't have MiniD, so I can't test it, but I've solved similar problems this way in the past.
