1st, welcome to the list.

2ns, regarding your question, check the "DeviceNo" setting on the
AN1x 
- under UTILITY/SETUP. It's usually safest to leave it set to 'all' 
unless you have more than one AN1x daisy chained off your MIDI Thru. 
Furthermore, make certain the "DeviceNo" setting on you AN1x matches 
the equivalent in AN1xEdit, i.e., if you changed the "DeviceNo" from 
'all' to '1' on your AN1x then make certain it is set the same in 
AN1xEdit. Got it? If problems persist  - post back then post back to 
the list. It might be something less obvious then the above.

Cubase, and Logic for that matter, are very deep programs and they 
offer a lot of functionality. IMHO, it's best to keep in mind that
you 
don't have to master all the features right off. There's plenty to
keep 
you busy for awhile. I'd suggest you set some realistic goals, such
as 
learning the basic of how the program handles Audio or MIDI first
then 
tackle the other. You may want to check the following sites: http://
www.cubase.net/   and   http://www.wizoo.com/   also check here at 
eGroups for more lists. I know there is a popular Mac VST list here...

oh yeah, one more thing, I think that link I posted to the Quick Disc 
Tutorial .zip had some Cubase/AN1x resources in it as well...

Jon
