Octatrack mixer settings and cued tracks

This is the setup; I have four modular synths modules connected to Input A, B, C and D. I am listening through headphones connected to headphone jack. In the mixer settings page MIX is set to C for cue outputs. Now my question is why am I hearing the modular if the four tracks are muted and NOT cued. Then if I do cue those four tracks I hear the same but louder and clearer. Cheers.

Note that in Mixer settings Main and Cue are set to +0 and Dir and Gain all 0 aswell.

How do you listen? With DIR?
Something plugged to CUE physical outputs?
Studio Mode?
New project?

listening through headphone output. Nothing connected to Cue outs.
Not in studio mode, is existing project.

However now you mention DIR, I wonder if I am hearing stuff when all tracks are muted and not cued because the DIR setting = 0 and GAIN = 0.

I meant monitoring with : DIR, Thru, Pickup, Flex?
There must be something Cued.

Thru machines for inputs A->D on tracks 5->8
But I’m hearing the inputs when no tracks are cued.
Thanks

New project cleaned things up. Good suggestion thanks.
