Oh, of course. Thanks Laurie for the correction and the comments.
I talked to my engineer. He, you, and I agree that my comment was
inaccurate. You are of course right about the rotation. I'll clarify
further: the VCF sub-osc (LFO) modulation on voice 8 has a problem.
VCA and pitch sub-osc modulations work. All other forms of aftertouch
work on voice 8 as well.
Yes, somewhere around here I do have the correct foot controller.
Thanks very much for straightening me out.
