Good to hear you like it. There are lots of real synth folk here (I happen to be a guitarist first and foremost too, that owns and uses keyboards, the An1x and others).
Just, I think you rambled a little too much to get all the help you are looking for. Did you get a manual with the An1x?
I can help with a couple of things, or at least the one...when you see the ----------
it is an assignable knob that is not assigned to anything at the moment.
Morphing is possible but you have to think about commonalities in it, it can't actually "morph" into a completely different sound if there are no similarities.
But the main thing...you and I are guitarists. I think your post is great in that you are excited and jazzed about all this synth can do, that's cool, but I think (if you are needing info NOW for a jam like tomorrow) you are biting off more than you can handle. It would be the equivalent of a keyboar player writing you saying "I just bought all the stomp boxes, and multi effects, and new guitar and amp, and am playing this weekend at a club, and I need to learn chords, riffs, picking technique, how to best setup my amp and guitar, pedal order for my pedals, how to...."
Kinda like that. This stuff takes time. I think if you take it step by step (and if you DO have the manual, there is also a "quick guide" that walks you through things like what you were asking about that is really helpful) and kind of have reachable goals it will end up going faster to learn.
It really is a LOT...and the sub menus, not to mention that it is a real learning experience to program these things well. I personally have made some good patches, but I often end up...just like when I tried to mix colors in paints, with a "gray" sound...I overtweak sometimes. Those patches you downloaded probably will be the best guide for learning too, I know many of the folks that program here tend to make them "morphable" and you can look at the parameters, try morphing and see how it works!
Hopefully more knowledgeable folk can help you with your questions, I just mean you asked a LOT of things, it might be better to split the questions up and rewrite so they are simpler to understand.
I wish you good luck with it all!
