Hi David,
A "Set" refers to a source + parameter combination - along with the 
associated depth value. I found the wording in the manual difficult to 
absorb at first but here what it all boils down to:

Select any voice and turn the select knob to the VOICE/SCENE SETUP 
menu; use the rocker button underneath Set No. to choose a Set from 
among 1-16, PB up, PB down, Commn 1 or Commn 2; now use the rocker 
button underneath Param to choose the parameter you wish to alter; now 
use the rocker button underneath Source to choose from amongst the 
physical real time controllers on the AN1x - or - assign a MIDI CC 
number that will affect the change when received from the MIDI In port 
(that's a really cool option but confusing to use if your new to MIDI - 
stick to the AN1x physical controllers for now...); then use the rocker 
button underneath Depth to select how much change you wish to make from 
the preprogrammed value of the Param you're going to change. If you 
want the change to cover the entire 0-127 value range set Depth to 
Direct. Baiscally, this overides the preprogrammed value in the 
selected Voice. If you want to simply increase or decrease the amount 
from the programmed value, i.e., use the controller as an offset, you 
can choose from between -64 to +63 for the depth amount.

While were on the subject, there are two more things to remember - 1) 
there are sixteen sets per scene so an AN1x Voice with two scenes can 
have 32(!) real time control assignments. Very cool. 2) the Wet/Dry mix 
for the Vairation effect can be set independently for each scene. This 
is a nice touch, IMO.

HTH.

regards,
Jon
