Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] midi problem

From: "PinheadX" <pinheadx@...>

I'm glad to know that..:-)
I didn't receive my AN1x yet so I'm not sure if I can help you out, but I
took a look at the page 22 (AN1x owner's manual) and it says that you may
select the layer mode pressing the "layer" button (the blue one on the side
of the edit matrix). Each time yoyu press it you'll get a different mode, I
think that's the way to make it to respond to 2 different channesl (I mean,
bi-timbral mode).

Hugs,
PinheadX.
