Thanks, I am glad you found it useful.

If you can send SysEx messages with your sequencer or external MIDI
controller to the AN200 it will process them.

System Exclusive messages were probably developed more for patch dumps
than for real time control. Control Change messages are much more compact.

The original poster wanted to know what options there were for
controlling the parameters not exposed on the front control panels so I
gave SysEx messages as an option.

You would need to test your external controller carefully with the AN200
before thinking about using it for a performance especially if you were
going to control the AN200 with an external sequencer sending MIDI data
to the controller to be merged with any of your knob tweaking.
