1 - If I change INSTRUMENT to “Instrument” or “Shared” and then I toggle CONTROLS “Audio/Midi”, the PAN parameter stays at NOT SET in both cases, instead of having value “C” for AUDIO :
in your second screenshot the Instrument Output is configured to “VM Out 1”. That’s a “MIDI Output”. The audio controls are useless in that context. We have to disable them. Thank you for pointing us to it.
