Subject: AN1x as a controller for softsynths

From: "pro52man2003" <pro52man2003@...>

Hello everyone...

I am interested in using my AN1x to control soft synths such as
Pro52, FM7 and B4 within Cubase 5.1

I am able to map the 8 controller knobs to various paremeters in the
Pro 52 by using the Ctrl device and Ctrl No buttons on the AN1x.
These mappings are still in place when I reboot everything. OK so far.

However, if I now remap settings in B4 for instance, the mappings I
made in the Pro52 are now altered and I have to remap them.

What I want to be able to do is load a load of softsynths into Cubase
and know that any mappings I programme will remain. Is this possible?

Similarly, it would be great to have control knobs set up for Reasons
REX player and then have another setup for the Maelstrom synth. Is
this possible or do I need a more specialised controller such as
Edirol PCR or Novation remote etc.

Finally, can mixer volumes be controlled via midi (AN1x)?

Thanks in advance
