Hi Fred,
Yes, I've managed to recreate your problem as described. Very
odd indeed.
I leave my AN1x in Mode 2 99% of the time so I thought perhaps
the problem was specific to Mode 2. I rebooted my AN1x into
Mode 1 and the problem disappeared. My edited voice retained
the Filter Cutoff value when I removed my finger from the Ribbon.
I rebooted back into Mode 2 and the problem did NOT reappear,
i.e., the voice behaved correctly with the Ribbon X assigned to
Filter Cutoff. Very strange?!?! Guess the problem is not specific
to Mode 1 or 2.
So I edited another voice - making the identical Matrix
assignment - and of course it did not work! The Filter Cutoff
setting returned to 'center' whenever I removed my finger from
the controller. Aaargh!
So, I powered off and on my AN1x and the problem disappeared
- again. BUT once I issued a program change the problem
reappeared! Very confusing...I rebooted BACK into Mode 1 and
the behavior was identical to Mode 2.
I'm at a loss to explain this irradicate behavior :-( Perhaps we
need to report this to Yamaha.
As a work around I suggest you use the Ribbon controller only
for dynamic changes and assign the Mod Wheel or an Assign
Knob to the same parameter when you require a fixed value.
When I have time I'll boot up LOGIC AUDIO and place a Monitor
into my Environment Layer to see what MIDI CC's are coming
and going - and maybe test with LOCAL=OFF too.
regards,
Jon
