> General Problem: My 650 quits responding to midi when I send midi 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.

> -L2039: When I press "Inc" after a lockup
> -L2167: When I press "dec" after a lockup
> -L548: First I press "ESC", which allows me to scroll through the top level menu, then press "Enter" on any of the second level menu items

> It seems as if I control aux 1 with a midi cc (as anyone would) my 650 becomes unresponsive to midi until I reload a patch. If I press enter on global options while in this state, I get an "Assert LXXXX" error message (they have been different each time, depending on what buttons I hit after this happens - the one I am starring at right now is L2028). When I get the error message, I have to power off my 650 completely to get it to work again. can't quite figure out what is causing this to happen. The only thing I am doing is sending cc information to control aux 1.
