Hi Matt -
Here's a message I archived because I tried this programming trick and it gives
a very nice JM Jarre string swirling effect:

In the AN1x you will need to familiarize yourself with the effects programming.
I don't think you can pan the effects the way this person describes, but routing
the signal through the phaser and then into a long delay does some really head
spinning stuff.
