As Jeff already explained, there are only 12 Voice, i.e. programs, in the AN1x memory at 
one time. However, each Voice has 2 scenes which may be layered, split, morphed, or 
switched between independently depending on the Voice Layer options. Each Scene in a 
Voice may be assigned individual MIDI Channels when the Layer is set to Dual allowing the 
AN1x to function as a dual timbral device if you so choose.

It depends on what file type your AN200 Voices are saved in.

What are the different file types? (.AN1, .ANP, .ANS, & .AN2)

.AN1 files are the original AN1x format used by AN1xEdit.

.ANP files are the PLG150-AN & AN200 format used by AN1xEdit.

.ANS files are the Yamaha XGWorks Sequencer plug-in AN Editor file format. These file 
should be used only for compatibility with the XGWorks environment.

.AN2 files are the AN200 format used by the Yamaha AN200 Editor package.

.ANS files are not handled well on the Mac version of AN1xEdit, but I think the Win version 
handles them correctly.
