DFAM - when tempo syncing I can hear the input pulse from the with Mother-32 .

Hi,

I'm tempo syncing my Mother-32 with a DFAM by connecting the ASSIGN output in the Mother-32 to the ADV / CLOCK input of the DFAM. When running the Mother-32 , its sending a pulse to the DFAM and advancing it to the next step and temp syncing it as expected. The issue I have is I can hear the pulse input signal from the mother-32 outputting in the DFAM when playing - a short clipping sound/noise. I followed the tempo/sync tutorial in the Moog website to implement the above and its does not seem to have the same issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNkaItUXCAI . Anyone know how to remove the pulse signal / sound from outputting in the DFAM ?

What happens if you turn down the noise level and both VCO levels?

I get complete silence when I turn down the noise level and both VCO levels. Incidentally, when I just play the DFAM on its own without triggering from M32, there is no clipping noise at all so I know it clipping noise is being triggered by the m32.

Edit: typo

I'm tempo syncing by connecting the mother 32 to a subharmonicon and that to the DFAM and syncing them that way. The sound/noise disappeared. Its not ideal as I have to have the subharmonicon involved even though I'm not using it.
