Well to be fair this has been known from its very release. Afaik the headroom argument is a correct one and has been stated for other devices ( like syntakt) as well ( i do have proof for this but it’s a private support conversation I won’t share without consent ) . In particular in combination with overbridge but still, I don’t see how this doesn’t apply to heat as well since it is an effect ( rather than a closed circuit like syntakt if you know what I mean)
That they are looking to improve things doesn’t mean this was not intended in the design. I find it extremely hard to believe that this would be an oversight that has been there since mk1.
I do hope they add a setting that can boost the level. So when not doing extreme filter sweeps one can simply run it hotter. No idea if that is possible but it’s cool to hear that they are looking into a solution.
