RE: poping when retrigering bass sample
it's like deano said i think... there was a lot of discussion on this on the waldorf boards, because the XT and Q do this too. basically, when you're in mono mode, it ignores the release on the envelope and just kills the note flat. any thing going from max to 0 in the matter of a half millisecond will pop
the only way to fix it, is for whatever synth you are using to put a little bit of 'slop' in, and allow the other note to fade out over a few milliseconds as the new note is playing, obviously this takes up an extra voice. you can't program it in, the synth has to do this for you. it ignores the release envelope altogether. that's why poly mode works, you get a 'normal' release instead of this 'clip to zero' thing.
on a 'real' mono, you just have one (or two) oscillators that just change pitch, no clipping, so no problems.
