Ouch!  Can you scale the amount of change by using the Assign Knobs BUT
mapping them to CC's via the Ctrl Matrix (under VOICE/SCENE SETUP) as
opposed to under the Ctrl Device menu (under UTILITIY/SETUP)?  That
would permit your to make the same changes but limit the amount of +/-
scaling.  Kind of PIA workaround really :-/

I've have a friend who repairs/constructs bass & guitars.  He's
mentioned cleaning the pots on some of his gear.  Let me ask him what he
uses and I'll get back to you.  I've a nagging feeling this is going to
be a *long term* AN1x feeling.  Hope I'm wrong...

Spoken like a true user!  Manual? We don't need no stinkin' manual!  ha
ha ha ;-)

I'll get back to you on the Pot cleaning thing...
