I've posted a detailed scenario in the past, I will do so again to ensure that this issue isn't down played. Personally, I think it is serious. If it is a problem with my specific 650, WONDERFUL, I'll just send it back to Paul to get it fixed/replaced. Else, it is a BUG that probably won't be fixed and not an unimplemented feature ('cause the other aux outputs work just fine). I'm leaning towards bug because Paul never said, "you know what, I can't replicate that on mine, maybe you should send yours in for replacement", especially because I've brought this up many times (since 2007).

cc's to control aux1. When I say quit responding I mean that the output
jacks do not transmit a signal - the midi LED still responds to midi.
One of two things happens once the 650 is in this state.

-VoiceGroups 2 - 4 are set up exactly like group 1 except that the
PBends are set to 0, and the Aux Midi CC's are set to different values
(13, 14, 15).

I send CC1 to Aux 1 all the time, that's all I use it for. I'm using it in monophonic mode, perhaps the problem happens when using the 650 as a multi-channel converter. 

I thought that someone was re-writing the code for the 650?

In brief, the two that I experience are:
