Direct Output send type bug in 2.0?

Hello all,

Maybe there's an explanation for this by way of some other control I'm not familiar with, but I went through the KPA with a fine-toothed comb and I just can't explain it:

In f/w 2.0, the Direct Out seems to be sending a fully wet signal if the output type is set to "guitar", or even "off" for that matter. Simple as that, it looks like that control isn't working any more. I've tried coupling/ decoupling with all the various checkboxes, etc. but nothing helps. Can anyone explain this, or at least confirm that it's a bug?

Thanks!

Not what I was hoping to hear. You're running the 2.0 beta? And you confirm that the Direct Out is changing in response to that setting?

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Christoph. Yes, I am using the returns in order to get audio back to the stereo loop. Does this change the behavior of the Direct Ouput?

Yes, it does.
The send will serve for sending audio to your effects loop, when it's active.
To get audio back to stereo use the Aux Input feature on the last page of the "Master / Output" page.

Ah, this makes sense. Thanks, Chris!

Unfortunately, it brings me back to my other problem, which is that the Aux in is coupled with amp volume, so I can't mute the amp/effects path and monitor only the return when needed. More details here:

"Aux In Link" in Master section, to decouple Aux monitoring from Volume/Master Volume

In 2.01 this is now independent from rig volume.

WOW!!! Thank you! Can't wait to get home and test!

Upgraded and confirmed yesterday that the aux in routing/mixing is working exactly as needed now. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the frequent improvements to firmware. This one helps with my setup immensely.

Thanks again!!!
