Yes, to both.

On the AN1x, set the [EDIT ROTARY] Knob to the UTILITY/SETUP menu.

Press Ctrl Device until you see FS displayed.

Press Ctrl No to change the value to 3: SceneSel

Press Ctrl Device until you see SCENE displayed, the Ctrl No value should also be 3:
SceneSel. If it's not, press Ctrl No to change the value to 3: SceneSel.

Play your sound, presee the Foot Switch (FS) to hear the 2nd Scene, release to hear the 1st
Scene. There is no Morphing invoked when using FS.

Repeat the above procedure for using a Foot Controller (FC). Obviously, Morphing can be
used with FC and you can have both FS and FC available simultaneously. Might get
confusing if you use the AN1x as a Master Control Keyboard ;-)

Hope this helps.
