It is nice, but be aware that many of the controls transmit SysEx - not MIDI CC's - so real
time update, i.e., tweaks while recording, will eat up more of your MIDI bandwidth than
MIDI CC's.
The AN1x environment uses MIDI CC but you may have to remap some of the knobs and/
or faders to the correct MIDI CC values for the PLG50-AN - I don't recall how drastic the
difference is between the MIDI CC values for an AN1x vs. a PLG150-AN (AN200) in this
regards, it's been awhile since I've fooled with it.

That is the trade off you made when you chose a low cost synthesizer like the AN200 as
opposed to something with a more immediate interface - and a price tag to match. You
might find that you do not enjoy editing your hardware from a software front end and
chose another direction. Many users find the compromise between cost and functionality
workable and don't mind.

The first thing you need to do is import the plg150an environment into Logic.
Once you have it open, navigate to the plg150an Arrange page and update the Port to
match the MIDI port of the MIDI Interface from which you have the AN200 connected.
Now toggle back to the plg150an Environment page and update a parameter from a fader
or knob - I would suggest something simple at first like Filter Cutoff from the VCF module.
Does your AN200 respond correctly? If so then you are good to go - otherwise something
is amiss wih the Port setting - double check the Port and make certain the Cha setting
matches the MIDI Transmit & Receive channels on your AN200.
Post back and let me know how it goes.
If you need help importing this environment into an existing or new Logic song, let me
know ∗offline∗ (because it's too involved and too off topic to bore AN1x-list with) and I'll
try to help.
