You've probably already read Bruce's reply - Patch Change
commands cannot be disabled. However, you might check the
ESQ-m to see if it can be set to ignore PAtch Change
commands. Alternately, you could always change the MIDI Tx
channel on the AN1x to an unused ESQ-m channel...

You could perform a factory reset to restore the default settings:
Hold down the '7', '8', & '9' buttons while powering up the AN1x -
choose option 9 and reply YES to restore the factory settings.
