tempo based delay and noise

I was hearing a string of crackles in a held note of a dimension patch, always at the same measure/beat. ??? So I tried different patches. Some crackled and some didn't. Some had two or three strings of crackles; some had crackles with reverb. If I moved the note somewhere else on the timeline, no crackles.
 
Well the title gives it away. There was a string of tempo slowdowns (rall. / ritard.) at the same time as the held note. The patches with crackles were using the Dimension built-in tempo-based delays. Some tempo-based delays oughtn't be coupled with tempo changes (when the DAW has no way to smooth the tempo change). But this delay was in a patch, not in a track or bus bin, so I didn't know it was there.

    Yeah, it seems like Cakewalk can't program tempo based delays that can smoothly deal with tempo changes. The VX-64 is another one.

    Did you fill out a bug report for DimPro? The more noise we make about it, the better chances it will get fixed.

    OK, I will.

    Who makes a tempo-based delay plugin that does it better? Or does it also require a DAW that has a built-in tempo curve generator (i.e. not "jump")?

    Don't use the Sonitus Delay, it has exactly the same problem.

    I still use it, though, because I have nothing better and can't afford EchoBoy. The workaround is to disable tempo sync before every tempo change. Fortunately, that parameter is automatable.

    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
