Thank you, I am glad you found it useful.

1. You have 15 slots where you can assign selected CC# and some other
parameters like Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, Key Tracking, Velocity and
something called Key Random to control selected parameters of the
AN200. There are more than 15 CC# available to use but only 15 slots.
2. Yes, installing XGWorks Lite and the AN200 plugin would be the
easiest way to edit the Control Matrix. Otherwise you can send the
SysEx messages directly to the AN200 to program these settings.
3. Yes, once you have setup the Control Matrix you can then set up
the external MIDI controller to send out those codes to the AN200.


I suggested saving several patches as starting points for editing a new
sound. Setting the Control Matrix to a standard set of parameters would
be part of this. The preset patches have their own settings which will
not line up with your setting on the controller.

In the English manual on page 132 there is a chart with a list of the
parameters that can be controlled by the Control Matrix and the FreeEG.

The important column for you is the CC AT column which has X or O for
each parameter. X meaning you can't control this parameter with the
Control Matrix. They are either greyed out or missing from the drop down
list in the Control Matrix setting page. Even then there are still more
parameters missing from this such as LFO2 Waveform, FM Algorithm.
Several of the X'd out options are parameters that would be implemented
as buttons like Filter Type, VCO1 Wave.
