Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] Scene Switch/Morph

From: jondl <jondl@...>

That's very odd indeed. This function is set at the Voice level - not
at the scene level. You cannot have a different value for the SCENE
control for each scene of a Voice.

I suspect you have '2:BREATH' assigned to both "MW" and "SCENE". That's
why the Morph/Scene Switch is working.

Under the the UTILITY/SETUP menu use the value button under the Ctrl
Device menu and scroll to "MW" - it's typically set to '1: Mod Dpt'; use
the Ctrl No value button to increase or decrease the value until the
display reads '1:Mod Dpt'.

Then, use the value button under the Ctrl Device menu to scroll until
the display reads "SCENE"; use the Ctrl No value button to increase or
decrease the value to '1:Mod Dpt'.

You have now changed the assignments for both "MW" and "SCENE" back to
'1:Mod Dpt' - the default set-up. Keep in mind that there is absolutely
nothing wrong with using '2:Breath' assigned to these functions. It only
makes it tricky when you're looking for the Mod Wheel to transmit MIDI
CC #1 only to find it transmitting MIDI CC #2 instead ;-)

Regards - and welcome to the list,
Jon
