Rather messy but successful set up and test of new SA pedals and Neuro Hub including saving a scene. Will integrate the C4 pedal in later with final pedalboard build after the next few gigs and definitely after the NYE gig. I don't want to be introducing a relatively untested new setlist MIDI controlled board on a high profile New Years Eve party. That would be asking for trouble. Lol. Still a lot to do to get to where I want to be but it's fun for sure.

Anyone here using both inputs on the Atlas? I have a DSM simplifier DI that has two insert point and was thinking about inserting channel 2 of the Atlas through the simplifier. I'm curious if it's truly two independent engines and how do you control both with just 4 knobs?
It’s 2 engines, and for each control you can set a min/max value so each knob can control a different range of values for both compressors. I’m pretty sure there is some way of unlinking them too if you don’t want that behaviour.
And one thing I forgot, is you need to pick the right routing mode to have a separate compressor on each channel. It shows a graphic of the current routing so that should be fairly simple.

Help!
I use a DMC Micro to control a Source Audio C4.
Lately I've experienced a problem where I can change the setting (go from A3 to A4, for example) on the DMC without changing sounds, that is, the C4 continues to play the A3 preset regardless of how I bump up (or down) the numbers on the DMC Micro.
The problem goes away when I restart both devices.
But since the problem often starts pretty much right after an initial startup, it's confusing.
I've just updated the firmware on the DMC Micro, so that's not the issue. The C4 is up to date.
Any ideas on how I can fix this? Please @mention me so it doesn't slip by... thanks!

I can't offer a solution, but can confirm it happened to me a lot--I no longer have the DMC and never found a solution. I figured it's a race condition at device boot.

@rsmith601 have you heard of this, and of a fix? (See post 13986 Source Audio Sorcerers Society (S.A.S.S) Part 3)
@kesslari I use the same combo and have also seen this on power up before. So I always verify the function on power up. Other times the DMC Micro comes up not communicating at all. I either cycle power on the whole pedalboard or just pull the power jack from the Micro, wait a few seconds and then plug it back in. Either method seems to fix it every time and I've never had the problem come up later as long as everything stays powered up.
Yes I see that now. Thanks. I also received back my Neuro hub. Thank @sourceaudio for fixing it. From what I was told port 3 wouldn't connect and it was for something reason running at a higher voltage. Connecting it now and I'll report back.
Ok so one issue I'm having is that I have the c4 connected to port 4. When I press next scene to turn on the c4 fine when I press previous scene it's still on. Can't figure out what's wrong. Thoughts?..this is the current setup.. everything in series from right to left..
Does the previous scene have C4 included in it? If not, it won't affect the C4 (C4 will just be left in whatever state it was already in).

I found it easiest to include all pedals in all scenes, in whatever state they need to be in for that scene.

Yea, as @coyoteboy said, it’s best to save all the pedals to all scenes, along with their bypass state, so that they will turn on and off with each scene change. Even if you don’t plan on using a given pedal for a scene.
I went from an MS3, where each pedal had its own loop to a GT1000 Core, where my SA pedals shared a loop. I had to go back and add pedals that weren't used to scenes so I could "turn them off".
Now I always add both (Aftershock and C4) to every scene and bypass it if I don't need it on.
