Hi Bruce,
Check out the MIDI Implementation chart in the latter section of the 
AN1x Data List:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/files/Documentation/an1xe2.pdf

CC 32 Bank Select is not implemented in the AN1x ('X' not 'O') - this 
is a design limitation not a 'bug'. :-/

You'll need to use some time of rechanneling for program changes to 
include a bank select command. For example, when I'm in 
editing/sequencing mode I just use Logic Audio to issue the 
MSB/LSB/Prog commands to my ASR-X Pro sampler. This has the benefit 
of allowing me to select programs in the ASR-X by name (and what a 
pain in the butt that was to setup in advance.) When I'm in 'get the 
idea down quickly' mode - I issue all my program changes manually.

If you're looking at using the AN1x as a controller in an extensive 
rig of MIDI Module you *may* want to consider a MIDI Patch bay that 
allows you to rechannel program change commands. Alternatively, you 
could could always reprogram your AN1x & slave module(s) to respond 
to your patch change commands in seq order.

At least this is how I'd go about it...Sayer has quite a bit of gear 
- maybe he has a better idea :-)

Or, perhaps you already thought of all this and were just hoping the 
AN1x accomodate CC 032 to get around it ;-)

HTH,

Jon
