Thanks for the confirmation. 

> 2.  It's more than an internal AN1x issue, as I tried using the 
ribbon controller to select dry or vocoded voice on my 
WarpFactory vocoder, which uses 0-64 = dry and 65-127 = 
vocoded.  (FWIW, I was sending CC#40 as Ribbon-X.)  For the 
first few days, it always acted as a "sticky" control -- i.e., if I 
touched the far right side, I had continuous vocoding, while if I 
touched the left side, I had continuous dry mic.  Then one day, it 
started only staying in vocoder mode while my finger was on the 
ribbon!  Like you, I determined that it was returning to CC=64, 
and had something to do with patches.  At that point, I gave up 
using the ribbon to control the vocoder.  :^(

Thansk for providing this info. When I hear back on my problem

I found the problem would clear - temporarily - by powering off/on 
my AN1x but as soon as a program change was issued the 
"bug" would reappear.

I know that both Ed and I are using the 1.04 EPROM - I'm 
uncertain what EPROM you and the author of this thread are 
using?
