Jon,

I forgot to add that I managed to make those faders move in you
AN1xCC Logic environment from my AN1x.

For those interested, I simply created a new fader and connected it
to every modules "serially cabled" first object, ie: VCF, VCA... (on
the AN1x Mode 2 Layer) , then from the arrange page simple
called up this fader... It is working fine now, both ways, whaterver
you tweak from the AN1x will update/move in the environment.

Cheers,

Gino
