Bug description
When you have a bend there is a small artifact after the bended note has finished, sounding like a pitch right around where the bend started (it can be the same pitch or a half step up or down)
Steps to reproduce
- Choose an instrument that supports bends (I chose bass)
- Input a bend (I did a grace note bend from Eb3 to A3 concert)
- Playback and hear the small artifact after the bend has finished
