Kick L behaviour

Elektron Gear Analog Keys/Four
1

Hi! New to the forum, to Elektron and to A4.

I got this fantastic machine last week and must admit I still haven’t figured everything out. :thinking:

One thing that is confusing me is the behaviour of the preset kick called “Kick L”. When the A4 has been idle for a while, the first hit always sound different compared to the following hits (lower volume and less snap).

I really like this kick so figuring this out would be huge.

welcome; quite a few threads on this already
.
resonant kicks need stimulus/time to resonate, nothing to worry about, it’s just analog synthesis, see threads for workarounds and explanations

Thanks, great. I tried searching but didn’t find anything I suppose.
I suspected it might have something to do with the circuitry.
