I don’t understand this question.
I don’t understand this question.
I didn't get it either, but I think he meant to ask since it's not possible to use inputs as outputs and vice versa, why allow connecting and OUT block to an IN block?
It's simply part of the design of a layout. We're free to wire input to output, just as we are free to insert other blocks between them. We're just routing the signal from one place to another.
He's asking about getting output from an input block/jack. Since you can route an out block to an in block, he's saying that implies you should be able to get output from an input jack. You can create such a connection, but no, that won't produce output at an input block/jack.
So earlier you said you cannot route a signal from input 2 to output 2 no matter what you do even if you put an amp block in between? Are you now saying you can though for the FM3 is not doable? The examples already shown are quite clear that yes you can connect an input to an output block and vise versa. All serve a specific function and is not in at all question though it was mentioned earlier as being a bit over the top. Or perhaps trying to create magic.
When you say, "Earlier you said..." (or anything that refers back to what someone allegedly said), use the Reply button from the post in which it was said, so someone doesn't have to go back and search through 4 pages to find it.
Both of those quotes came from hitting the Reply, a 2nd & 3rd time.
Guess I prefer that over turning my output into an inputTurning your input into an output is what happens when you've had way too much Tequila.
You hit the nail on the head GlennO. Thread too shouldn't have gotten this far off track but somehow it did. All of the wiring illustrations are all valid to me and was never in question at least not in my mind as I had seen them previously. However, when it was said that such a circuit configuration made no sense it begged the question why are you able to build it? And no you can't get an output signal unless you have some amplification in between IN/OUT. Geez!
Agree that we can all use reading the manual now and then though if you prefer to spend hours digging through pages and not finding what you are looking for. But it would have been more productive to stick to the original problem the OP was having and that I too ran into rather that to go digging for theoretical this and that questions that had nothing to do with the OP's basic question only to complicate matters and confuse.
The discussion isn't about advanced features. These routing issues here shouldn't take hours to comprehend. I'll certainly agree that for some topics it can be hard to find what you're looking for in the manual, but routing is covered pretty well, I think.
Yes precisely my point. My real main issue is why can't the device come factory configured so you can plug your instrument in and have sound coming out of OUT 2 with minimum effort on the user's part. One should only need to pick a scene or build something simple to get sound without having to go into the settings menu. But hey, maybe I am wrong. Like I said, earlier it took me hours to discover one setting could make all the difference and the illustration drawing in the manual doesn't mention it. I am referring to what is shown on page 34 of the FM3 user manual. No mention of the Analog setting which is not the factory default setting.
the issue is that the solution you suggested had nothing to do with the OP.
the device does arrive like that.
Emphasis mine.
Maybe I was one of the unlucky ones but if you do a reset like I did several times the settings remain the same.
this is absolutely incorrect.
Okay have Beta5 b1 firmware running on the unit now and just did a reset (HOME + EDIT at power ON). Analog does show as the default only needing to set Output 2 Copy to Output 1. Beats the hell out of me why it was different when I first plugged it in unless a hotplug-in of the USB may have caused this setting to change? Any thoughts besides the hand of the boogie man?
Thank you Sir for the minder. Did do a full a backup first before a full reset.
did you actually "reset several times" before like you said, or did you make it up?
Yes it has. It's also not a bad idea to hang back in the beginning, to get to know the guys. Chris & Unix know their shit when it comes to this gear, so if they say something, it's usually best to make sure you're certain about what you're about to post, especially if it conflicts with what they say.
