Sidechain Attack Crackling Noise

Elektron Gear Syntakt
1

Hey

Goin from the Digitone into the Syntakt, using the FX Track for Sidechain Effect in the DN1 with the Amp Env. Just a short Sidechain Env to make the Ducking Effect for a Kick. But when I use almost no attack it’s like cutting a Sample not at zero. I have to put so much attack into the Env that I think I got sth wrong. Trig Length is on 1/16. tried it on 1/8th.

Any Ideas what I’m missing?

I don’t have Syntakt, but attack and release controls on compressors typically have unintuitive exponential value ranges.

So for example attack cam be:

  • 10 μs at 0
  • 5 ms at 64
  • 150 ms at 127

It’s confusing as hell if you are not used to such exponentials and don’t have the actual time values displayed / printed anywhere in sight.
