Thanks Geoff and Alec

Geoff, as Alec says, it doesn't need to be a control track. As far as I understand it, the track volume control data is recorded as part of the actual total track data. So, if you record a track and manage to alter the volume slider while you are playing (bit difficult!) then this will be recorded as part of the performance.

Alec, you are correct in assuming that the recording was not done in Easy Record - all done in Realtime record. The procedure I followed was exactly as you describe in your reply, with one exception. I did not Merge track 11 to track 6. Having done so, the volume changes now work OK.
The problem with having to carry out the Merge operation is that once it is done, it is not possible to Undo the change to Track 6, without re-recording it. This means that you cannot audition or correct any volume changes which have been made on Track 11, before committing them as a final edit to track 6.
What I cannot understand is, if the volume change data has been recorded in Track 11, as is confirmed when merging Track 11 with Track 6, then why is it not effective on playback of Track 11, before merging?
I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that the volume changes could be observed before merging, on the KN6000? This would seem to be confirmed by the text on Page 35 of 'HDIDT', which states "... Now there is no reason why you can't just leave it at that. But let's be tidy. Menu / Sequencer / Copy and Paste / Track Merge etc...." which would suggest that the volume changes should be effective and observable before merging.
