Don't know if this will apply to this unit or not but thought I'd pass it on as maybe it's what he needs. I had a Digitek Vocalist. It would change patches via CC commands BUT it wouldn't go into bypass via CC so the only way to turn the harmonies on and off was the Foot pedal. Of course I was not satisfied with that. I wanted complete automation SOOOOOOOOOOO Patch #127 was some useless chipmunks thing. All I did was edit this patch so it had no harmonies, relabeled it bypass and saved. When I'd want the harmonies to come in I'd insert the appropriate CC # and when I wanted them to stop I'd enter CC#127. This may help.
