When we received our IDR32, the PAD was turned on for each input channel (https://gonnagles-engineering.blogspot.com/2010/09/idr32-and-pl10-arrived.html). This is not an editor issue, since the editor receives all the settings from the IDR. It is an issue of the default configuration of the IDR. The default shows you can load using the editor (for example LR stereo) do not have the pad turned on.
When using the editor in offline mode, there will be an program in the background emulating the IDR. This program will start with the default settings (including the pad turned on) until you load some show or change it.
Hope things brings some clarity,
Best,
Frank
