Reg, I don't follow? Are you saying you want AN1xEdit to issue
program change commands to the AN1x when a Voice is
selected from AN1xEdit? Do you have to dump the entire SysEx
to the PLG card each time you simply change programs?! I don't
understand the design limitation of the PLG150AN well enough
to follow...

The VST concept for the PLG150AN is an interesting idea and
seem inline with some current trends. Doesn't NI now bundle
VSTi's of Reaktor and Dynamo along with the stand alone
versions? Is this where you're coming from? Accessing the card
from a plug-in front end?

∗Reminder to the list∗

Reg has created some AN1x Cubase Mixer Maps and they can
be found in the Files section. There's a Logic Environment (from
Yamaha) in the "qdisc" Voice set (check the Yamaha U.K. folder)
and a PLG150AN Logic Enviroment at http://www.swiftkick.com
There's Cakewalk stuff too. Someday I may even polish off my
reworked AN1x enviroment - need - more -- hours ---- in - a -----
