The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi Jeff: thanks for your comprehensive reply.

I worked around this, as mentioned in both mine and your other emails
yesterday, but I wanted to comment that I do not have the option in
Utility Setup Device or Ctrl No to select "Scene Ctrl".  Only
"SceneSel" is available in both menus in the relevant place, it being
number 3 in the list of 90-something controls. Number 4 is blank, as
are several others in the list.

It may be my OS version or something (it displaying "TEST MODE V 1.02"
when I start up and hold down 0 + and - together.

Secondly, the copying of the scene did not work even when I followed
to method you suggest below!  I *can* swap, and I *can* copy from
other voices, I just cannot copy scene 1 to scene 2.

Many thanks for your help,
Gwyn
