Hi Jon,
Sorry for the delay, but here's my $0.02 on the problem:
1. It happens regularly in Mode 1: I almost never use Mode 2 because my setup has a couple of keyboards that use a number of MIDI CC#'s, and I can't deal with the overlap issues.
2. It's more than an internal AN1x issue, as I tried using the ribbon controller to select dry or vocoded voice on my WarpFactory vocoder, which uses 0-64 = dry and 65-127 = vocoded. (FWIW, I was sending CC#40 as Ribbon-X.) For the first few days, it always acted as a "sticky" control -- i.e., if I touched the far right side, I had continuous vocoding, while if I touched the left side, I had continuous dry mic. Then one day, it started only staying in vocoder mode while my finger was on the ribbon! Like you, I determined that it was returning to CC=64, and had something to do with patches. At that point, I gave up using the ribbon to control the vocoder. :^(
3. Powering on and off may have an effect; I was a little confused about the reason for the problem at first, and would need to repeat the tests to be sure.
Regards,
-BW
