Wish 8 channel volume block

[unix-guy]

The number of channels should match the number of grid rows... So not 8

a) The multiplexer can directly access all grid rows, plus Inputs 1–4 and USB 5/6 and 7/8 (say the docs, not at my Axe)
b) If it only did that you couldn't use it as an 8 channel volume block

Maybe that 6-channel doc is why I never caught this before, but I pulled one up to do something else, saw that, and rejoiced!

OTOH, the other thing I wanted to do actually needs a DEMUX, which we don't have, unfortunately.
Maybe some day.

There is a wish for that and a DE-MIX as well....

It's been a minute, but today I realized something I should have noticed long ago.

We don't need to wish for this, the Multiplexer block IS an 8 channel volume control!
Its main purpose is that it can select from 8 different inputs (really 8 different matrix rows), but each of the EIGHT channels has its own independent volume too.
Most blocks don't have 8 separate channels, but this one does.

You only get two multiplexers (on the Axe III, don't know about FM9 or FM3), and it doesn't solve everything, but it's enough to do some of the things I want this for, mainly a single amp channel with a bunch of different drives that may goose volume enough to want to compensate.

The Multiplexer blocks in the FM3 have 4 channels, and in the FM9 and Axe-Fx III they have 6 channels.

A spare 'Output' block placed after the Amp/Cab and before any Delays and Reverbs works pretty well for this.

I have a wish for my version of a permanent solution for this. I will look it up and post a link.

(Repost from my edit of my post above, in case folks don't see the edit.)

Bleh, my apologies folks, delusion on my part.
The multiplexer block has only SIX channels, not eight.
Not sure what was going on in my brain earlier.
As you were.

And just for the record, it IS too bad we don't have an 8 channel volume block.
