I am writing to report 2 issues I found on the blackbox with the latest firmware.
1) When I mute a channel in the mix section, if I save the project the mute status is not saved; so loading the project again unmute those pads again. This is not ideal to be honest, and I am not sure why is working this way.
2) If I create a new project from scratch, all my pads will be empty, but they will all send midi signals to channel 1 at different note tone. I found no way to turn this behavior off. Basically if I create a project, then I add 3 samples, each set to play midi on a different channel in the pad options (pad 1 to ch1, pad 2 to ch2 and pad 3 to ch3), and I connect midi out to a synth; this result in midi always being played on channel 1 AND whichever channel I selected in the pad options. Notice that in the Tools section I selected none for both the pads and keys in midi section.
Attached a midiox output. The first 2 lines are the pad pressed in an existing project, which I modified to send to midi CH3; that trigger just ch3 correctly.
The following lines show the new project pressing the first 2 pads; which are set to trigger ch1 and ch2. As you can see, the first pad trigger ch1 twice, the second pad trigger ch1 and ch2.

The first issue is somehow fixable by muting the tracks again, but it is annoying.
The second issue makes impossible for me to actually use the blackbox with external synths. The only way I found to have just one channel respond to the pads and keys is to use an existing project and modify the existing pads. So this seems to be a bug in the firmware. Thanks
