Hi David,

my daughter also has a k61p, some times ago I played with sysexes and 
found out how to change the CC addresses for the two knobs:


#! /bin/sh
# set default values
KNOB1=${1:-4A}
KNOB2=${2:-4F}
amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -S \
 F0 42 40 6E 05 7F 6F 40 00 01 $KNOB1 00 00 7F 00 00 00 00 01 $KNOB2 00 \
 00 7F 00 00 00 00 01 07 00 00 7F 00 00 00 00 01 01 00 00 00 7F 00 00 00 
01 \
 40 00 00 00 7F 00 00 00 01 01 00 00 00 00 7F 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 7F 
00 \
 00 00 00 00 01 10 00 00 7F 00 00 00 00 01 11 00 00 00 7F 00 00 00 00 00 
00 \
 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 F7
# send ident command
amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -S f0 7e 0 6 1 f7

Maybe you do the changes step by step with the w*nd*ws editor, dump 
afterwards with:

amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -S "F0 42 40 6e 05 1f 10 00 F7"

and diff against the original state.

hth

Ciao Martin
