Nord C1 controlling Legend EXP Newbie questions

Something strange happening.
When watching the code go in and out of the translator it looks correct.
I suspect that the Viscount module has some midi implementation rules.
The first note I send from the C1 to the EXP after power cycling both units starts a slur of messy mid notes hanging. Touching the leslie speed controls creates a different mess again.
Back to reading the viscount manual again.
