External Init Value [solved]

It seems that MIDI/Remote > External > Init Value isn't functioning correctly.

I have External 1 connected to the Control parameter of the Wah block, with Auto-Engage engaged.
External 1 is assigned to Pedal 1.
External 1 Init Value is set at 0%.
The preset is saved with Wah bypassed,

If I remove the cable from the Pedal 1 port at the rear, the Wah Control parameter jumps to 100% and the Wah block is engaged.
I believe it should be bypassed with Control at 0%.
 
Init. value never really worked for externals set to onboard pedal ports on any FAS device. A port with no cable plugged in is read as 100%, and this will override the init. value immediately after powering on.

If you set the init. value to 100% and enable PC RST or use a SPD autoengage type, that should prevent having the wah engaged when there's no pedal plugged in. (It won't prevent engaging if you unplug a pedal once powered on.)
 
Aha, I forgot about that. Not a bug then.

It's a pity though, because assigning Externals (instead of directly connecting to a Pedal) is the most compatible approach. That's the way the factory presets are set up too.

I tried your tips, and just enabling PC RST does the trick.
