Hello Gwyn!
To copy data from another voice to a scene:

    * hold the "scene1" or "scene2" switch and enter the number of the
      voice whose data you want to copy. The screen will display this
      number flashing  together with "sceneX load?"
    * Press "yes" (or "no" if it's a mistake!), that's all.

To swap both scenes (ie sound data are exchanged between "scene1" and 
"scene2") :

    * hold the "store" switch and press both "scene1" and "scene2"
      switches. The screen will display "Scene 1<->2 Swap" with "sure?"
      flashing
    * As previously press "yes" or "no".

To "morph" between both scenes  the continuous controller (modulation 
wheel = MW) must be assigned to "scene control" ( Scene Ctrl on the 
screen) and not "scene select" (Scene Sel) . In the last case the mod 
wheel only toggles between the 2 scenes like the switches as you 
mentionned, in the first it is defined as a continuous controller 
allowing to mix both sounds depending on its position. To check which 
controller is assigned (if any..) to the Scene Control (i.e. "morphing" 
or "mix") hold both scene switches, it will be displayed on the screen.
N.B1.: this "morphing" function can be assigned to any continuous 
controller, not only the mod wheel, for example a foot controller, with 
a pot inside like an expression pedal, not a simple switch as the 
sustain pedal. However this simple pedal switch can be assigned to 
something else than the sustain, assuming this parameter does require 
only a 1 or 0 value.
N.B.2: The "sustain" pedal can be any fitted with a "normally closed" 
type momentary switch and a mono jack : you can find it easily (music or 
electronics stores) and cheaper than the Yamaha "FC something" model....
NB3: Caution! The continuous foot controllers are a little bit more 
complex, if they will fit or not depends on the pot ohmic value and the 
jack wiring !
Xmas greetings

>Hi there.  I am new!  I have had an AN1 for some years and I am finally having the time to use it properly.

>I have created my own noise, a bass noise using both VCOs and based on the default Type 2 noise the system offers you when you start creating.

>I wanted quickly to copy scene 1 to scene 2 so that scene 3 could differ in pitch by an octave.  This does not appear to be possible, in that I tried it, but it didn't do anything (i.e. I went into scene 2, and attempted the copy but it simply refused to do it, despite appearing as though it was doing it.

>So I manually copied it.

>My question is this:  I want to morph between the two bass sounds, and when I set either the modulation wheel or one of the assignable Knobs to SceneSel, it just alternates between the scenes, without morphing between them.

>I think that there is a setting wrong somewhere that is stopping it from behaving in the way that I expect: does anyone know what that setting is?
>
>I have changed the layer mode from single, to dual, to unison etc etc, and depressed both scene buttons, but it is still not doing it.

>Any advice would be gratefully received.
