Why is the Digitone clicking?

It’s a pretty common way to handle polyphony actually, especially in digital synths where the phase of the oscillators are typically reset per each note trig (e.g Ableton Operator has this as its default setting)

This solution is quite good for most use cases and actually causes less issues than cycling voices regardless of note trigger - but ideally it would be an option for the user to set. Not sure if this is possible with our structure at the moment, but I would also like to be able to select between voice retrigger or not.

I usually don’t have any issues with clicking at all, but I’m pretty well-versed with the unit. Would be nice to not have to think about it of course, but partly why it can happen is because of how versatile the synth engine is. In most cases it’s not an issue at all, but you can run into clicking if you’re configuring things in a certain way.

There should be a lengthy response from me regarding this further up in this thread.

EDIT: here is another instance Sound Quality / Characteristics: Digitone vs. Volca FM
