@Reese, thanks for the explanation. When I open the channel3 and press the Engine button once, nothing happens. AUTO remains AUTO.
A few additional observations:
- when switching the FX knob between channels, when I get to ch3 (and ch3 only), the AUTO button on the mixer lights up. it stops being lit up as soon as I move the pitch fader on the player (i.e. as soon as aI change the bpm of the track that is being played on ch3).
- the mixer is unable to read ch3 bpm only when the FX knob set to Master. When it’s set to ch3, despite the fact that it says ‘auto’ on the oled display and it doesn’t show the headphone icon, it can read the bpm just fine. It is specifically struggling with ch3 as master.
