Good thoughts, thanks. I did actually discover what's going on but before I explain that:
I did try splitting the fat wire and only sending in the actual single wire I needed but a value slider (set to 2 decimals) then confirmed that the signal the sig-manips received was identical either way.
Haven't checked out the Blend thing so thanks for that. Can't say I really understand the various blend modes yet. When I need to connect one output to multiple inputs, I quite often hold L1 as I'm connecting so that I don't have to go back and get the wire from the output again. However, I'm just starting to realise that maybe by doing that I could be causing odd blend results. I need to look into how it works.
So, the actual solution:
Having gone through all the inputs and outputs quite meticulously, I'm now fairly sure that in this case I've actually discovered a bug. As I stated, when I first set up the circuit in question, the sig-manips where functioning perfectly, then somewhere along the line they suddenly started getting weird, as per my picture.
The difference turned out to be that I had wired the microchip that the sig-manips live in, to be powered by a Selector. When the parent chip IS NOT powered by a Selector, all functionality is perfect. When the parent chip IS powered by a Selector, the sig-manips get weird and start functioning like in my picture.
Think I'd better report it as I can't see it covered in any other posts yet.
