Track Level indicator differs in FX mode

Hi,

I just got my hands on an AR and i am super happy. But i’ve been puzzled about this and have now spent a fair share of web-searching without succes, so pardon me if the thread is redundant.

Anyways, here my riddle:

Each track has a level indicator in the top-left corner that is controlled with the LEVEL knob. Fine, i get it, it’s like my other 3 Elektron machines. What puzzles me, is that this indicator doesn’t show the same level when i enter in FX mode. In fact, if i turn the level knob down in FX mode, nothing happens.

At first i thought it would be the Audio-in level, since it appears that the audio in gets mixed with the AR signal just before the compressor. But i tried today, and to my surprise the LEVEL knob doesn’t do anything to the Audio-in in FX mode. In fact, it doesn’t seem to do anything…

What does the LEVEL-knob do in FX mode? And why does the display-bar shows a different level from FX mode to… ehm… notFX mode?

It’s an fx track really, for plocking fx, not an fx mode…

The level knob when on that track controls the master return level for the Delay and Reverb… :slight_smile:

oh wow! that was fast! thank you! :slight_smile:
i got confused because when i pick another track, the machine gets out of the… FX-track editing mode (is there a name for it?).

Am i getting it right if i assume there is only one FX-track? Or is there one FX-track for each of the 12 instruments?

Edit: it was meant to be a reply to everyone … noob with this billboard format here…

It can also plock compressor and distortion, but the level knob only affects the delay+reverb…
