Yeah, not a bad idea. Maybe we should just add a HTML doc to 
the Tips & Tricks directory -or not?

If you whip out your handy dandy AN1x Data List and turn to Page 
10 you'll see the PEG Depth parm (amongst others both of us 
have complained about) are restricted to 'mul' (for multiply) as 
opposed to 'add' - the desired behavior. Clearly this is an 
intentional design limitation but without explanation it appears to 
be arbitrary and unnecessary.

Another weird thing - while working on my E Piano and E Organ 
voice banks I couldn't for the life of me recreate the Ribbon 
Controller bug?!? Go figure...

So that's two that would make it into the bug list. What else? How 
about using a foot pedal to stop/start the Arp/Seq - have to be in 
Mode 2 for that trick. 

We know about the old audible popping and clicking defect and 
how to reconnect a non-responisve Ribbon Controller. We know 
about the large SysEx dump size, etc.

What we also need are the EX5 v. AN1x comparison and th 
PLG150/AN v. AN1x comparison tables. I've put up some HTML 
from the PLG150 spec's in the files section but that about it.

Ideas?
