The AN200 and the PLG150-AN are also more economical in terms of the
space they take up, which is why I've gone for them rather than the
AN1x. I only want one keyboard in my studio.

I've sussed how to play voices on the AN200 (recent arrived following
an eBay purchase) from my Motif keyboard and how to decouple it from
the start/continue/stop control of the Motif's sequencer.

But perhaps you can help me with one more thing ...

Is it possible to use an external MIDI controller to tell the AN200
which voices to play on a particular track? I mean rather than have
to scroll through the AN200's pattern/voice selection rotary wheel.
