Please watch this video to hear the issue. audio drop out.

FYI , the same thing happens when I use the iPad to turn on that effect. However, when I unplug the iPad from the controller, the problem disappears.

Hi @Nubium, thanks for creating a new topic for this and for sharing the video - this is very helpful! I’ve passed this onto our hardware team to see if they can replicate this and offer any suggestions.

Hi @Nubium, this is not actually a dropout, it’s the delay behaving as it logically should.

  1. You have the Wet/Dry knob set to 100% wet, so when you activate the Echo you don’t hear anything at first, since you’re only getting the Wet signal and it takes that 1 beat for the delay to “fill up”.
  2. The quick fix is to set the knob to the middle instead of all the way to the right when using the Echo FX.
  3. The engineering team is looking into options to adjust the echo behavior in the future, but for now the 50% W/D should solve your issue.

I understand what you’re saying, however from a musical perspective, it doesn’t make sense for it to do that. I’ve done a lot of live sound, and used effects on a different lot of mixers, and none of them would behave like that. But thank you for your fast reply.

Hi again @Nubium, all common ways of implementing a delay in a live sound mixing setup don’t easily let you set 100% Wet 0% Dry - usually you get 50/50 at most. Either way, the dev team is actively investigating options to make this Echo FX behave differently. I’ll report back when we have more news to share.
