Scene originally came from the Yamaha CS1x in which you truly could save two
sets of knob positions within one patch and then use the mod wheel to morph
between them. They were not layers or channels since they were knob positions
(contoller settings) and all patches had the ability to save two settings. 

They then tried to make the AN1x look the same from the user interface aspect
and called it scenes even though they really are two patches or parts under the
covers.... I think it boiled down to a marketing scheme... :-)

By the way, the scene capabilities in the CS1x are amazing for atmospheric
sounds/pads. I still love the sounds it can produce.
