It may just be that the attack on the amplitude envelope is too fast. 
I'm not sure if Bristol has this problem, but on many synths, with the 
attack time set to its minimum, the envelope opens instantaneously, and 
that can cause a clicking sound. Try increasing the attack time and see 
if that helps.
