AHA!!!
Another undocumented - undiscussed quirk.

Yes indeed, Jimmy, the scenes do interact with one another when you save the
patch as "morphable".  Fact.  You can try as you might, but if you save
certain patches together (with both scene's LEDs active), it will cause a
change in the sound of one or both.

More specifically, if you have a scene that is for example a square wave
clarinet sound, and another that is a ramp wave horn sound, then you press
both scene buttons together making the patch "morphable"... do either of the
scenes sound different, even though you put the scene controller fully to #1
or #2?  My answer is: sometimes.  And I can't predict when it will happen.
It seems to happen more when linking 2 scenes with the VCOs on differing
octaves.  But I don't like to do this much anyway, since when morphing
between the scenes the pitch of the oscillators changes.

I haven't discovered the reasons behind this quirk, but I will define it as
a lot of Japanese engineering does: It is not a qurik, it is a FEATURE.

Finally, to your question.  Page 99 of the manual: Scene Store.  Hold Store
and press the Scene 1 or 2 button, depending on where you want to store the
scene.  NOTE - Scene Store loads the data into the Scene edit buffer, so you
will need to perform a Voice Store operation to store the Scene parameters
as voice data.  Ed's NOTE - remember that you can store the Voice anywhere
you want, overwriting some other Voice you don't use.
