This is my idea for a better automatable send device:
X _ < > [V] #Send
Amount --------[] 0.000 dB
Panning ----[]---- Center
Receiver S04 v
Keep []-------- -40.00 dB
see what i mean? That would be awesome.
Could you explain the meaning of the ‘v’ on the send and the advantage of automating ‘keep source’? i think i understand, but maybe not?
“Keep” as in “pass this amount of the signal on to the next device in this chain”?
(the normal workaround is to add a gainer after a send device, and possibly a Hydra for crossfader-style mixing)
I’m all for it as long as it doesn’t conflict with existing stuff.
Actually, a whole lot of the native DSP could do with such a “keep” parameter (sometimes it would perhaps be more fitting to call it dry/wet, a feature which has been discussed too)
With something like this, however some careful checking should be made to ensure that we introduce as little phase issues as possible.
Let me just second-guess that second-guess - don’t you think it looks like a dropdown? 
A dropdown would look more like this
X _ < > [X] #Send
Amount --------[] 0.000 dB
Panning ----[]---- Center
Receiver S04 [v]
Keep []-------- -40.00 dB
Yes yes yes. Exactly.
Also that… older songs could be simple loaded with it on 0.000 dB full or -INF dB 
Yeah, I think the only device really missing this functionality is Scream Filter - has to go into a send track almost every time. Then Delay has only ‘mute src’ like the send, and Chorus has Dry&Wet combined… I would also like the Delay to have a D/W control so one could have a higher wet signal than dry, inline, but this #Send idea came to me in one of those moments you know, and I had to write it down!
this is where my knowledge fails, I think. I don’t get it. It’s exactly what you can already achieve, but much more better, more like a lot of other renoise devices, Reverb etc.
