How odd, in theory it shouldn't be necessary. It's either a quirk
in how AN Expert Editor "see's" .an1 files or perhaps a remnant of
how the file type is recognized after being decompressed from
an 'old' .zip format under a current OS.

You shouldn't be using AN Expert Editor with the AN1x. It is
intended for use with the PLG150-AN and AN200 and does not deal with
the AN1x SysEx ID as it does either of the other two devices. This
is likely why you receive the chronic "check sum" error and
unpredictable results of voices transferred to your AN1x. AN1xEdit
is capable of handling SysEx transfers correctly to all three
devices, and with the exception of XGWorks file types, it is
proficient at interpreting the different archictectures of AN1x vs.
PLG150-AN. Suggest you read over the help files in AN1xEdit as it
summarizes the differnces quite thoroughly.
