    Thanks for the report, and thanks to fraki_rnd for the suggestion. A click on a trig can come from a hard envelope edge, so it is worth checking the AMP page first: with ATK at 0 and a short HOLD/REL the voice starts and stops abruptly, on stock machines as well.

    Could you try a small ATK (a few steps above 0) and a longer REL, and tell us whether the click goes away? If it does, we will close this as a configuration outcome and note it in the FM Synth docs. If it stays, please give us:

    • the AMP ATK/HOLD/REL values, ALG/INDX/FB, and whether the click is on every trig or only some (for example the first trig after PLAY, or overlapping notes),
    • whether it also happens with FX NONE and with the other modules removed in a disposable project,
    • the exact flashed build, privately through your Modwerk report.

    This stays open until we hear back.

    Glad that solved it. Closing this as a settings issue rather than a firmware defect. The click came from a hard envelope edge (ATK at 0 with a short HOLD or REL), and a small ATK with a longer REL removes it. #701 adds this to the FM Synth docs.

    If it clicks again with a soft attack, reply here with the AMP values and we'll reopen.

    The cold-start click was fixed in my standalone line in Octatrick 2.10; the ATK/REL workaround is only needed on the 0.1.2 module. The Modwerk update follows when Modwerk confirms the new Octatrack base and how modules register with it.
