using a midi controller to control the deluge synth engine causes issues

When I use a midi controller to control the synths in the Deluge the velocity of the notes causes the deluge's audio to crackle and distort. It happened on 3 different midi controllers, with headphones and external out. If I turn the velocity up on notes to the around the max it causes the same problem with only a few notes being triggered. Also noticed turning the reverb up to around the max on a group of 10 or more notes causes the audio to fizzle out completely.

You simply need to turn down the tracks volumes a good bit
What's happening is, the Deluge's default velocity of the pads is 64 (hopefully we'll get a setting option for that soon in an update) and when using the midi controllers the velocity usually goes much higher, so the Deluge starts clipping internally when set to the default volumes of the presets.

Thanks guys. Turning the track volume down doesn't change the clipping, just volume in which I hear the clipping. I think the default velocity that it receives is set too high.
It's only a problem with the synth engine though
Every time this has happened to me, it went away when turning down the master vol of the track or the osc volumes.
If it doesn't, maybe something ain't right

You referring to the OS?
I'll try this, thanks again guys.
Oh, I am talking about the subractive synth engine.
Hey @mpiecora! Thought I should just mention that I've let Rohan know about this and he's going to look into it. I'll update this if he finds anything. If the issue develops any more, or you'd like to send us synth/song files, feel free to email me @ sam.carswell@synthstrom.com
Oh, very cool! Thank you!
I think the problem still exist and if i turn down the volume on the oscillator,
then playing on the external keyboard is ok but on the internal pad playing is much to quiet.

I'm also experiencing a similar artifact that I have not been able to pin point, but this thread seems similar. I'll do more testing tomorrow specifically on the velocity front or by turning down the OSC's.
Just bumping this because I did further testing and it is still an issue on 2.1.1
I have some synth files for comparison if requested.
They are up to 2.1.3 now
I did not notice this originally. Thank you!! Still after the update to 2.1.3 the issue persists...
Only happens with polyphony through external midi controller near max velocity. Most noticeable when you strike the notes with full velocity. Makes every preset unusable by default until I reduce the volume of the OSC's. I have not determined the threshold yet for how much I need to reduce the value.
Please resolve the fundamental issue or cap the OSC's so that this does not occur. I don't think I'm doing anything special as these are the stock presets that came with the device and I have only changed one parameter to resolve the issue.
Was searching to make sure I wasn't the only one with this. Noticed it last night quite a bit since I was just messing around going through all of my sounds. Happens with subtractive synth, external input, generally with polyphony. Sounds like it might be expected but just wanted to throw my hat into the ring about the issue. I know this topics last message was a year ago but it's the 2nd and 3rd result on google when looking for the issue.
