What's New

I/O Metering Feature
This is a simple metering utility to assist in troubleshooting signal routing problems. To use the I/O metering feature:

1. Press the Edit/Back button to access Rig View.
2. Use the Scroll wheel to highlight the icon labeled METERS.
3. Turn the illuminated knob under the display to select the input, output or Eleven Rack USB stream you want to meter.
4. Two bar-style meters show relative signal level with clip indicators.
5. The SW1 button (labeled CLEAR) will illuminate red if clipping occurs. Press SW1 to clear the clip indicators.

Improved Delay Time/Mod Rate & SYNC Control Interaction

• Previously, when Sync was enabled on a time-based effect such as a delay or chorus, any Time or Rate controls were temporarily deactivated. They could then be reactivated by turning the Sync control to Off.
  
• Now, adjustments to either the Sync or Time/Rate controls will override the setting of the other control automatically.
  

Fixed: Rig Output Signal Routing to Single Output to Amp

• When only 1 of the 2 Outputs to Amp is configured to get its signal from the Rig Output, the stereo Rig Output signal is now summed to mono. The Main Outputs will continue to output the stereo Rig Output signal.
  

Fixed User Options: Outputs to Amp

• When set to "Rig Output No Cab", the global cab bypass would not persist if Eleven Rack was rebooted.
  

Fixed User Options: MIDI

• With THRU engaged, the setting would not persist if Eleven Rack was rebooted.
  

Minor Changes

• Fixed FINE control resolution with Expanded Delay (DELAY+) mode engaged.
  
• Miscellaneous cosmetic U/I fixes and enhancements.
  
• Retail Demonstration Mode added.
