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

thx Jon for taking the time to check.

IMO it really looks like an OS related bug. I think it's not worth spending too much time into this.
at least I'm not alone having this very odd problem. BTW you did refer to mode1 and mode2 boot. Can you elaborate on this ?
