Jimmy's right: This is a bug/feature of the AN1x. If you program the modulation matrix to use Ribbon X on all of your patches, you'll probably find that some of them latch at the last-touched point, while others drop to zero. There's probably some method to this madness, but nobody on the list has figured it out yet. Part of the problem seems to be that the setting changes over time -- I can go back to a patch that I could swear works one way, and it's working the other way! I've given up on depending on the ribbon controller for long-term modulation tasks.
If you find out what's going on, please post the information here. I'm sure lots of owners would like to know what the secret is.
Regards,
