Arthur,

Holding the Assign button while powering on the AN1x is used to switch between Mode 1 
and Mode 2 - which is Yamahaspeak for alternating between Control Change Modes (see 
page 9 of the AN1x Data List for the specifics.) This is very useful to to extend the range of 
parameters (CC #'s) the AN1x will respond to and transmit, but I find it difficult to accept 
this alone would clear the issue you've experienced.

Don't get me wrong - I'm glad your AN1x is behaving as expected, but I think it more 
likely this indicates the problem is intermittent. And you did mention that the problem had 
cleared at least once, temporarily, following a factory reset, correct?

Good idea - the only thing I would add is to consider a battery replacement too.
