Not sure if this is a bug, but it's for sure something that is a little bit weird compared to any other FX units or pedals.
If the MIX in a Phaser or a Chorus or whatever other FX is set to 0%, you only hear the dry signal, then, as mix is increased, the wet signal is added. Normal behavior. Volume is unchanged, cause although you decrease the volume of the "dry", the wet is added and summed in the same proportion.
Right.
But, in the case of DELAY, the wet signal is not summed (cause it's delayed), so if you have, for example, your mix in the delay set to 40%, you get a very audible decrease in volume when you activate the delay block.
Of course it doesn't matter if you always use that patch with delay, but if you want to activate/deactivate it, it becomes a problem.
Same happens with reverb but the problem is more obvious in delay.
In any other FX unit or pedal I've used, delay MIX control behaves like this:
From 0 to 50%, the dry signal is untouched, and the wet signal goes from 0 to max. From 50% to 100%, the wet signal is untouched and the dry goes from max to 0.
This is (I think) more intuitive way to use it.
What I do now, is set the delay (100% wet) in parallel and use the grid global mixer to set the level I want for delay, but it would be much easier and less confusing for people newer to effects if the mix behavior was the way I suggested.
Comments appreciated.
