better tell the girls it's an 11 am show .... just to be safe!

Here's my big question for discussion/demo:

Please explain the thought process behind making the mic direct out, when it does NOT include the voicetron OR the effects? What is its intended use? I would understand if the harmonizer went out that jack too, then you could process vocals separately, but they don't. It's weird - what advantage is there over just plugging onto a separate mixer if you chose that route? I'm miffed, my friend.

I tried it today, and the harmonies still come through the speakers, and main out of the KB, but the DRY lead voice is taken out .... I'd love to know the design intent, because I can't imagine any scenario where it's useful. HELP!
