It's there all the way through Martin. If I start re-programming a patch and turning footages off then the bleed-through disappears! It's mainly the 2ft that does it - but others bleed as well - only an octave lower. And it's definitely not "digital control noise" - but exactly the same as the patch sounds - played up top!

Cheers,
TOM
