Topic: faders mouse wheel direction TotalMix FX v2.0

Has anyone noticed the mouse wheel direction for faders changed in TotalMix FX 2?
It feels inverted compared to the previous version. Is there a way to revert it?

That's a joke, right ?

Edit :
Sorry, I don't want to be rude, let me explain.
For years countless users have requested to make the fader move the right way, as it is now.
Then you pop up want to make it wrong again.
Are you using a mouse with a mouse wheel ?

I have a mouse pad on the computer and if I move up i want the fader goes up, thats the right way (for me)

There is a setting to switch off the entire mouse wheel functionality but not inverting it.

So the answer is no.

It's difficult to help without a more detailed problem description.
Please specify exactly what’s happening and what changed compared to before.

Also, what OS are you on?
Are you running any third-party mouse tools?
Such settings might be a bit 'hidden' and could invert the operation of the mouse wheel.

Current behavior in TM FX 2.01:
- Mouse wheel down ("turned toward you") = Fader down
- Mouse wheel up ("turned away from you") = Fader up

I am on macOS Sequoia 15.7.3 using an M1 Max MacBook Pro. I am not using any third-party mouse utility tools.

You're correct. In v2.0, when I scroll the wheel up, the fader moves up. The reason this feels "inverted" to me is that I had grown very accustomed to the behavior in v1.09, where it was the opposite.

I know it might sound a bit unusual, but due to my macOS system settings (Natural Scrolling) and years of muscle memory, the old way felt more intuitive for my workflow. Since I couldn't find much discussion regarding this change, I wonder if adjusting faders with a mouse wheel is a less common practice among users? Regardless, since RME has now standardized it to this "correct" direction in v2.0, I was simply wondering if there was a hidden toggle to revert it to the legacy behavior. It seems I’ll just have to retrain my brain for the new standard.

Thanks for the help!
