Is it an "old timer" soundcard, so called "MPU401 compatible", with the
MIDI - game port (15 point subD connector on the back) ?

At a glance, no...
> I'm really confused by what its doing now. Its not acting like it used to which is when I hooked it up to an1x editor I could see whatever patch I clicked on in the synth right away and then could just store it right in the synth by pressing the synths store button.
You're telling that it worked at least once with this configuration, right ?
> Neither can i see the patch that i click on in the editor in the synth I also can't seem to send the pacth either. I tried doing a bulk send from the editor just to see what it would do
Good idea..
> and the editor showed the patches uploading and the synth showed that it was receiving bulk data and then when it completed it went back to the patches showing the new patch that is on that number in the editor but when i tried to scroll to another patch on the synth they all reset to the factory patches even the one that had originally changed. Tried that twice with exact same result. I have no idea what in the world is going on. Help anyone, please... Thanks.
Do you recently performed an O.S. or software update on your computer ?
Try to re install your sound card, if it is the MIDI port of your
computer (see just above..) with all its software, drivers included, and
set all the MIDI default parameters according to your actual configuration..
If it has worked once, and today not, something has changed, hardware
(less likely, if anything else goes right) or software (more likely).
If you can do the factory reset on the synth itself and everything is OK
i can't believe that the issue is in the AN1x.

Merry Xmas and
