  • Synchron Strings Professional Violas, no close mic?

    I'm finding it difficult to really find mixer presets for the perspective I want even though there are many.  They are all too wide for my liking, so I decided to go on a mission to create my own, basic mixer presets, at least as a starting point.  I realy wish there was more information on the different microphone channels, but that's ok. 

    Here is my first issue so far.  After creating presets for Violins 1 and 2, I opened a Violas patch, loaded the "Default" preset in the mixer, and then started adjusting the mics, but when I did, I realized that the Close Mic channel won't turn on, nor can I change the level of that microphone.  It's as if it isn't available.  It this correct, or am I missing something here?

    2nd issue; The Mid Mic is stuck at the default level and is unadjustable. If I move the slider, it just snaps back to -5.3. I really don't understand this, and I do have the Full version with all mic positions.

    The presets I've been making are just a little combination of Close and Room mics, levels adjusted, and Power Panned into the stereo field as I see fit.  It seems a shame that this mic isn't available as I really like having a super close sound for some situations, and it's where I'd like to default.

    Can anyone confirm this finding or give me any other insight?

    Thanks!
