Mode passthru and misc show value

Mode passthru and misc show value
« on: October 26, 2018, 09:35:37 AM »
Hello everyone,
I noticed recently that when pots are in passthru mode, I press misc button to show value of one of them, turning the pot to see the value, and... when I released the misc button, the pot acts as it is in jump mode, jumping the value instead of waiting to reach the value. Any of you can confirm it is a normal behaviour or did I find a bug? Thanks in advance  ;)

Works correctly on mine.

But the pots are very sensitive, and you've got to be careful not to turn them even very slightly when releasing the MISC button.
Otherwise the value will jump to the current pot position (since it has passed thru the initial value when showing it on the display).

Ah ok now I understand the process, I thought that misc button won't affect passthru mode until you release it, but you're right, when the value is "passthru", it'll change if pot is still turning. I will need some careful practise  ;D

Thank you for the explanation Alain  ;)
