I play with the P5 glove sometimes. There are several midi programs for it. Also Carl's Pie program and be scripted to work midi too, if you are into coding scripts. I am not. The older programs for the midi work fine, limited they are. I talked to a few who did them years ago and when they have time, they said they look back into it to update such that you can store settings, switch over from midi cc to nrpn and other things.

Use for a single synth works, I have several that it would be nice to do a multiple route of midi across various ports and channels. The other draw back is you must have it in the camera's eye, that is, you need to keep it linked to the base station. That can be hard when you are dealing with synths and keys.

It is fun however and you can control lighting via midi too and some pyro effects it hooked right. I have not used it with the AN200. I have used it with the DX200 so I don't think much difference there in how it works will occur. You will need to route midi to it, so something like midi-ox and midi-yoke, a DAW that allows you route etc would be handy.

The p5-group on yahoo might be your best bet for other program and users using it for midi as well as gamers.

Good luck, have fun.

Some two days ago I came across the "P5 glove" or data glove. Googling and eBaying it I found out: there are MIDI-drivers for free; there's a group at yahoo ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/p5glove/ ); for german customers they seem to be cheapest from overseas (at least if you order six units, like I will). With one of them you may produce more than 5 controllers at once.

Someday keyboard manufacturers will offer controllers on the right side
