I would think it more cost effective to score a 2nd hand Korg Kaoss
Pad, or similar controller, on eBay. I picked up a microKONTROL
many months ago to use a desktop controller - just received the
Korg Legacy Collection Digital Edition as a Christmas present :-)
Hoep to have time to install it this coming weekend...

Haven't heard of anybody moding the AN1x in this way and haven't
found a schematic or Service Manual on the web.
