Apart from GUI settings the major difference in the configs are: Now: ReverbRoom=0.200000002980232 ChorusNr=3 Before: ReverbRoom=1.14999997615814 ChorusNr=53 A quick test now showed the problem: simply put the reverb to the max, stop qsynth, restart qsynth. W/o making any sound, it will go into a distorted feedback loop that will fade away crackling. I guess that would be normal, maybe. That w/o any sound the reverb engine would 'feedback'. In any case, I do not use such a high reverb level, but it was set like that as maybe I tried something before.
