It sounds like a puff of air in the first second.
Definitely a difference detectable between q 4 and 5. q 5 seems to sound better (less noise)

I think I know the reason why q 5 (GT3b2 mode) works better than q 4 (QKTune mode). I'll look into it. Should be very interesting. Excellent sample, btw. Many thanks.
