Fixed Studio FF Compressor 2 type not working properly if Knee is set to “Hard”.

Fixed Delay block maximum time limited to 8s regardless of entered time.

Fixed Amp block not updating properly when changing scenes if Scene Revert is on.

Cliff, how do the authentic master volume tapers appear when amps have multiple "output volume" controls. i.e., the rectifier channel master vs output knob. Even selecting an authentic taper, I assume you choose one to use and delete the other, but given the variety in possibilities people can dial (high channel master, low output, middle of both, reverse, etc) someone trying to authentically dial the master might still be missing something if they forget that their OUTPUT knob was at 2.
 
Anything new aside from newly updated models?

EDIT: nevermind, just saw you added the release notes

Isn’t the “output knob” there the Master, and channel volumes just mix the various channels to be sent to the Master?
 
Sweet! Thank you! Something to look forward to when I have enough energy to get up off the couch.
 
Probably a dumb question but oh well. I see the VH4 Blue on the ‘updated but unverified‘ list, and no mention of the VH4 Silver in either. I’m presuming that means that the VH4 Silver hasn’t been updated yet?
