Icarus not entirely silent with no notes playing
« on: July 12, 2018, 11:52:59 AM »
With some (home grown) patches Icarus outputs something at -70 DBFS when no note is played. Does anybody know what could cause this?
Windows 8.1 / Cubase  10 / Wavelab 9

Hello Flexion,

some filters do have self oscillation. This can result in output without notes playing. Some of the insert effects do output noise as lo-fi effect.
There is also a very small DC. It prevents the following plugins from denormals. As a result the CPU load is lowered drastically.
