Pops and Clicks in the sampler

[highway_rehab]

I’ve deleted some stuff so there’s just one sample, one modulation lane, and no FX chain. Kept the slow attack and release. Still get the popping.

I did notice I get less popping if I make the release on the volume ADSR shorter. That makes me suspect that the problem is caused by notes getting cut off abruptly before they’ve completely faded out. I have the NNA on each sample set to Note Off. Does the sampler have a limit on polyphony that I don’t know about?

EDIT: I found something!

Polyphony limit on long release times?

Hi Stelpa! I’m not a core developer, but this is how I understand that Renoise works internally: The limit of 12 voices is enforced per note column, of which we have up to 12 per track - this should give each track a limit of 12*12 = 144 voices per track. Depending on the way things are triggered (having the “chord” mode enabled in 2.8, instrument “solo” option in 3.0) will dramatically affect the number of simultaneous voices you can trigger when playing live. There are additional things to …

So apparently the limit is 12 voices per note column. I’ve just experimented with spreading the notes out into 4 columns, and that does seem to solve the issue.
