dual cabs week..

[lulu_m]

Hi all,
 
It seems like the dual cabs are hot item this week. ;-) Wel I agree you should give them a go as they can make a great sound!!
But for tweeking these dual cab blocks, I missed a function to quickly bypass one of the cabs, to isolate tweeking for 1cab?! (I know you can turn down the volumes every time you switch cab, but it's a bit of a pita.
I put up an ideascale for this one, and invite you to vote if you agree on implementation.

Thanks ;-)

You could temporarily set something up to toggle between two cab blocks. Assuming the cab blocks are being used on their own path, set a switch to toggle the route to parameter of an A/B split. A dual cab block is a parallel setup I think.Then when you want to see what both cabs sound like together, have the A/B split selected and just press the route to encoder, assuming you want each cab to have the same amount of input signal.

 

Anyway, good idea to have a convenient one-half bypass on a dual cab block.

Thanks for the tip Duncan! 

Yes I do something like that too in a seperate 'play around' set, where i tweek the cabs separately and then after manually copy all their settings into the target track with the dual cab block. Works, but could be so more convenient with just a 'one-half' bypass, as jou'd mentioned. 

Anyway..., its just an idea .., no deal breaker for me. Helix is so inspiring.. love it :-)

Also beware of the second cab reset bug.

Or you could be a really simple b***ard like me and just use the same combination on everything. I know... I'm so simple...

What is the "second cab reset bug"?

[Ka5par]

Changing the 1-st cab in dual cab block resets the second cab to default.
So after you've decided what you want to use for the second cab, don't go changing the first, or you have to choose the second one again.

Thanks man.., TBH, I wasn't even aware of this?!
