Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] Transferring patches from AN1x to PLG150AN

From: Reggie <reggie@...>
Date: 2001-06-07

I'd just like to point out that at no time did I say that you couldn't
convert the second scene, I did mention that no software out there that
will Convert the second Scene info. I feel I should clarify what I
meant by this, there is no software out there that will automatically
convert them, AN-edit of course allows you to edit the second scene, and
it allows copying of the 2nd scene and pasting it to a new patch as 1st
scene, but on 128 possible patches it can be quite a drawn out process.
