Playing the REV.2 61 with local control off produces weird and unusable sound.
I effectively lose the rich stereo field when I switch local control off and cannot imagine why there should be connection between normal stereo field and the local control toggle on/off, but there is.
Is this a known issue? An unavoidable characteristic of the firmware?
With local control off, I use the Soundtower Librarian via MIDI cable and can toggle the pan settings live for both Rev.2 layers. The characteristics of the sound output of the Rev.2 when local control is turned off is that a previously rich full stereo output (on any patch in the bank) becomes a lop sided loud one channel quiet the other audio field, both in monitors using the feed from the 2 layers combined L/R outputs or listening via direct connect headphones.
By clicking the pan control in the librarian I can toggle this lopsided left right volumes live to a lop sided right left volumes. Plus when I toggle on mono using the librarian the sounds move dead centre in the stereo field, so what local control turned off is producing is neither full balanced volume stereo or proper mono, it's a weird unusable lopsided stereo with barely any volume in one channel that can be reversed to the opposite channel but not improved.
Using the keys on the rev.2 or keys on another MIDI controller produces identical dodgy audio results.
Can anyone shed some light on this please?
