random clicks and pops

  • As a new user, I am very excited about GrandOrgue and really enjoying it.
    One persistent problem: i get occasional clicks and pops from the speakers, that seem to occur at random, although often when moving from one note to another. I thought this was a grounding issue, but I ran a ground wire from the Mac Pro to the amplifier and it's still happening.

    I have polyphony set at 1024, volume is not clipping, samples per buffer at 160 and latency at 0.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to the world of MIDI and it's a bit baffling.

    Thanks

  • Increase latency / samples per buffer.
    GO must produce the audio packets at regular intervals. Lower samples per buffer values mean more shorter packets. Latency influences the number of additional audio packets produced in advance. If GO does not finish audio processing in time (eg. because something else is stealing CPU time), you hear cracks. Larger values mean more safety margins.
