Nope, just the sysex for a patch at a time if you want, but otherwise,
there is no way in AN-edit to get at the factory banks(2x128) and User
Banks unless you can send bankmsb/lsb/prg for the voice that you want.
Once you send that patch data to the synth there is no way to get at it
in an easy manner.


I know AN-edit is an editor, but it is such a simple thing and would
mean a great deal to a lot of PLG users, After all, if you are sending
just bank/prg to the PLG AN the change is instant and doesn't tie up the
midi buffers, and you can still use AN-edit to edit the sound once you
have uploaded it, or use the matrix if you have set it up.

You can get at them in VST5 with a script I wrote, for just this reason.
