MASSIVE clicking annoyance

I need some help!

I'm getting pretty confident with using native instruments massive but some synths i've created have an extremely annoying clicking sound at the start of the note. i have tried using the ADSR and even trying to filter the click out but neither work.

it seems to happen mostly with sines

Anyone know how to prevent this?

?

Attack and release at the 10 o'clock position in envelope 4 should do the trick also go to osc tab and click the restart by gate and change the phase of the sine wave about, see if that makes a difference.
Works better when you also go to the voices tab select unisono to 7 , monophon and legato and put a donk/daft filter on it at 10 o'clock too. Now that's a nice sub ,well for massive i suppose

awesome, cheers mate. i'll will give that a go later. What are you using for subs?

For sub i use a few different things. I usually use the EXS 24's default loaded up as a mono track in logic. Sounds alright in the club/mix with the other mid range bass. For the last track i used that rob papen sub bass synth - got some nice percussive sounds in that one.
@ nowaysj when unisono is set to centred it's better to have uneven numbers (screw what massive likes) especially when you have the pitch cut off on for that detuned sound. It probably doesn't matter so much here just force of habit.
Try having one oscillator set unisono to 7 (bring the main volume down) click the pitch cutoff on and slider over to the right a couple of mills and see what it sounds like then compare to 8. Also see what happens when you click the restart by gate box in the OSC section

(Then start messing around with the wave table position and change the osc to bend+/_ with the intensity at 12'oclock) Works nice with scrapyard

try taking global sync off, and manually setting the correct bpm in massive.

i just started using the exs for my subs but its clicking at the beginning of each note and changing the attack isn't fixing it......how do you get rid of it???

terekete mentioned it in this thread

i usually have the exs set to mono, little bit of legato, attack/ release up a bit no decay and full sustain.
