Thanks for the confirmation.

> 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. :^(

I found the problem would clear - temporarily - by powering off/on
my AN1x but as soon as a program change was issued the
"bug" would reappear.

I know that both Ed and I are using the 1.04 EPROM - I'm
uncertain what EPROM you and the author of this thread are
using?
