Sure you could but would you want to? IMO, SysEx data transfers
between a computer and the AN1x is not exactly a fault tolerant
affair and don't always come off without incident. Would you
really want to place yourself into a situation where you have to
troubleshoot, or reboot, in front of a live audience?

The AN1x contains 128 Voices (programs.) With a little
preparedness I would think that number sufficient for most live
situations. If you're ∗really∗ pressed for programs then I would
propose you use the 2nd Scene in each Voice to contain an
alternate Voice set. This would require a fair amount of time and
manual manipulation on your part, perhaps using AN1xEdit for
the task, but it would effectively double the number of available
Voices from 128 to 256.
