Please add a new “dummy” fx-type to QU-16 fx-rack.
Dummy fx-type means: The input signal of the fx-type should pass directly to the fx-output(return) without changing the signal.
This could be used for creating a group with the fx3/fx4 return.
My idea:
Set all inputs (you want to group) to e.g. Mix5-6. The Mix5-6 will be now the new group channel.
deactivate the input channels in LR.
Then use the Mix5-6 as input for the FX3 or FX4 (back panel)
Now FX3 or FX4 output(return) can be routed to the LR.
Requirement: the input signal must pass the fx-block directly to the fx-output(return)
Problem: the empty rack option of FX3/FX4 does not tranfer the input signal to the output.
For testing you can use a mod-fx or reverb-fx type for FX3/FX4. But the signal is processed by the fx-type. The signal is not dry.
Result:
That means if it would be possible get a dry signal thru the FX block, then you can use it as a group.
disadvantage: one FX Block is needed for it.
Normally this should be a small change in firmware to inplement this !?!
