Rane 62 Improvements for 2.4.1

Been using the 62 for about a week and truly love almost everything about it. There are a couple things that I am struggling with and after talking with a friend who also has been using the mixer this week I thought I might lend a few suggestions and invite other's ideas to really fine tune this mixer for everyone.
Flex FX-
Sound- The effects sound really good, far better than the original effects on the 68. I do however have a couple problems with the depth. The depth (wet/dry) seems to have an incredibly sharp curve, either the effect is to loud or way to soft. Also the echo effect seems to have a really short tail with very strong decay.
Layout- The layout of the FX section is great, however I have been struggling all week with bringing in a track with the effect over top of it inadvertently. Modifying the firmware somehow so that the blue FlexFX buttons or the green ON/OFF button flashes (or both) would really help IMO.
USB Insert- Some sort of control over the FX in SL would be great. I play a lot of top 40/ commercial stuff and the use of the echo and roll out FX can be extremely helpful in certain situations. However, I hate having to turn the effect on and off with my mouse. It would almost make more sense for the FX section to switch entirely to midi when the USB insert is active instead of just making it a pass through.
Thanks for any open ears, love the mixer. My 4th Rane Mixer in the last 3 years, love everything about the brand and quality. Keep up the good work.

You can map the FlexFx button to toggle the effect on/off. Just turn off the onboard efx when you do if you only want to hear the DJ-FX
