  stuck unless I use an external midi mapper. I've had lots of synths that lets the master 
  dictate the midi but the AN1X was probably never intended to be a controller so it's kind 
  of o.k. I still love its sounds.

  Filtering Prgram Change messages is not a run of the mill feature. I've had sound modules 
  that allow you to remap Pgm chg, but I can't think of one that let you disable it entirely. 
  Typically you WANT your Master Keyboard to send Pgm Change. Your mileage may vary :-)
  You might want to check out the offerings from MIDI Solutions and perhaps see if one of 
  their devices can sit in your MIDI chain from AN1x -> Nord and filter Pgm Chg. The URL is
  http://www.midisolutions.com/products.htm

  Anatek and Phil Rees use to make comparable boxes as to MIDI Solutions but no longer I 
  think.

  You might consider a 2nd hand MIDI Patchbay or a multi-port MIDI Interface with event 
  filtering off eBay.

  Or you could always take the poors mans way out and simply copy the same Patch on your 
  Nord to consecutive program slots so Pgm Change becomes irrelevant ;-)
