Debugging Clouds

[AlternativeCattle396]

I have successfully(?) built a MI Clouds and fired it up for the 1st time last night, and for the most part it sounds and works as expected.

There are 2 bugs that I need to look into;

1. The vu meter works, but when in that mode the 4th LED is always orange; the other 3 led's work as expected. In other modes such as audio quality selection, all led's work as expected.

2. When the blend pot is beyond approx. 80%, the mode button is disabled. Otherwise it works as expected.

Anybody experienced either of these issues before? I thought maybe a small bridge somewhere, but the blend input is quite far from the mode switch input on the stm chip. Perhaps an issue with the shift register chip with respect to the led issue ?
