You can set everything back to factory reset values as far as I know.
Thereafter you could creat patches say, and always have the first
letters be "J_" if you wanted to make sure you only use your own patches.

Not sure what the point would be though...if you think about it, no matter what
you are either going to have a really big set of boring (all the same) patches
until you went in and edited them anyway...and anytime you edit you can always
choose the same starting point.

Another thing, are you using An1x Edit, the software MIDI interface from
PC to the An1x? It would be easier if you were.

Maybe if you told a little more about why you want to do it someone could
give you some better advice. If it is just the urge to "start with a clean slate"
then I think you would be doing a lot of work for little benefit. Eventually
you build up a library of your favorites anyway, and if you DO have the
An1x Edit and a PC hooked up, it is much easier to save, maintain libraries for
different things (like one could have all setting for patches optimum for
live performances, one library of pathes for direct in to recording devices,
etc.).

Hope this helps a little anyway.
