Don't be disappointed....
But it is basically an instrument with some control keyboard features,
and at least you'll have one hand on the keyboard when the other one is
moving some knob, during a solo part for example... What you are looking
for is much more like a Doepfer or Bit Stream controller with a lot of
knobs, pads and pots and no keys . There are sometimes such unespected
things : my Red Sound expander allows me to filter a lot of incoming
MIDI data (after touch, velocity, mod wheel ...) except one, "program
change" .... This is rather curious on something designed to work
together with another synth !
For your problems have you tried to put your AN1X in "local off" mode ?
OK, you will loose the AN1X sounds, but maybe control more easily
another one ...
Cheers
