ok--cool- i have got the 'soft' signal back in channel one.

I had previously done the 'volume offset" as Paul had described , but because i couldnt monitor LEDs showing the current channel during the offset calibration, i wasnt sure if i actually adjusted all 6 channels. so After reading this last post from David, , i went back did it again, then as i had - no change, So I had an idea and DISABLED with 'Channel check" all but the bad channel (no.1) and THEN did the volume offset calibration only once , Gaurenteeing i was adjusting only channel no.1 (the bad channel) and NOW IT SEEMS TO BE OK. i get signal with a soft touch. Assuming this really has done it, I thank Both Paul and David for describing the 'Volume Offset Calibration" i would not have thought of it. To answer David's question, The problem was only in the 'Volume Envelope' touch , not the filter "envelope' touch. and I guess I needed to just focus on the diabled channel for that test. the manual says to do the test by just 'Playing 6 notes'and adjusting the slider. but didnt say how to monitor each seperate channel clearly by itself. I had to guess that the 'channel check' mode setting would carry into the 'volume offset' test mode. I may be a hack, but im not a total idiot. This is a big relief to solve this minor but major issue.
