Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll try them out and see what works :)

We're actually looking to bring the quartz patch into Arkaos (which I've
done with other patches to varying degrees of success), but I haven't been
able to isolate the kick as of yet (although granted I don't have much
experience in Arkaos so that's a bit trial and error at the moment).

But all much appreciated! Thank you!
