  • Strange *click* from SE Contrabassoon

    Hello,

    I am recreating an orchestral score to familiarize myself with VSL and composing with MIDI.

    The opening phrase of the piece is played by the contrabassoon (G1,G#1,D#2). I chose the performance legato (pLeg) and I noticed when it made the transition from G# to D# a very prominent click sounded. With some experimentation, I found that this click only sounds between the intervals of a major third and a ninth. I thought that turning off the release samples might fix it, but it didn't.

    Does anyone have an idea why this is and how to fix it?

     

    Note: I'm using Cubase 5 and the SE Vol.1 Bundle.

    Orchestral score is Gaspard de la Nuit by Maurice Ravel (orc. Marius Constant)


  • If you fix it you'll also have to fix the contrabassoon, because the keypads of this instrument naturally make clicking noises.  These were recorded for realism.
