Relax Jimmy, it's only programming... If something goes wrong or if your
synth hangs up : turn it off and on again or, worst case, do a "factory
reset" by pressing some buttons∗ before turning it on again. OK, with a
factory reset you'll loose all your stored patches, but the AN1x
software will restart on both feet.
In fact you'll have to set up a knob to control midi number 7 (what
you've done) AND , if possible, send the volume data given by this knob
to another MIDI channel, not the one of your AN1x. Assuming that for
example your AN1x is set to channels 1 and 2 (because of the possible 2
different voices at the same time, scenes, layers and all these kind of
things) set your EMU to listen to another channel, for example 6 and set
the knob to send its data on channel 6. I don't know if it is possible,
never tried, or if, doing so, all the knobs, keys and controls are send
on channel 6...
You have to look at the AN1x MIDI implementation chart to know if it's
possible or not.
Cheers.

∗press and hold the "7" , "8" , "9" buttons, turn the power ON , and
when the screen displays "Factory Set ?" press the "9" button again,
then "YES" (full reset) . There are other options (load the factory
voices only, part of them, sorted or not, etc...) but the "9" does
everything at once, voices, patterns, OS restart...
