You are correct. The 'x' and 'o' in the CC AT Column references 
the Data Range Column for the Ctrl Matrix: Source parameter. In 
other words, you cannot set a Depth setting of (-64) - (+63) for 
VCOx Pitch or VCOx Fine (but oddly enough the Direct settings 
works?!) As you've pointed out, the same applies for Vel KeyRnd 
but not KeyTrk. Make sense?

Cool idea - using MIDI CC #027 for PEG Decay, right?

Why would that be nuts? That's what it's there for ! :-)

FWIW - the same can be accomplished using the FreeEG. Look 
at the chart on p/ 10 again - see the last column Free EG: Trk 
Param - you could record knob movements for ANY of those 
parameters on a Free EG track.

Never figured out a pattern to the blinking lights - I'd assumed it 
had something to do with the internal clock but....
