Jon,
many thanks for your response.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work as I expected. Did all the steps but
when I press the switch *both* scene lights go on and I listen to a
mix between the two.
I'm using an "on/off" switch, maybe a temporary one (sustain pedal
type) will do the trick?

Thanks again,
Lou
