Reg, I don't follow? Are you saying you want AN1xEdit to issue 
program change commands to the AN1x when a Voice is 
selected from AN1xEdit? Do you have to dump the entire SysEx 
to the PLG card each time you simply  change programs?! I don't 
understand the design limitation of the PLG150AN well enough 
to follow...

The VST concept for the PLG150AN is an interesting idea and 
seem inline with some current trends. Doesn't NI now bundle 
VSTi's of Reaktor and Dynamo along with the stand alone 
versions? Is this where you're coming from? Accessing the card 
from a plug-in front end?

*Reminder to the list*

Reg has created some AN1x Cubase Mixer Maps and they can 
be found in the Files section. There's a Logic Environment (from 
Yamaha) in the "qdisc" Voice set (check the Yamaha U.K. folder)  
and a PLG150AN Logic Enviroment at http://www.swiftkick.com 
There's Cakewalk stuff too. Someday I may even polish off my 
reworked AN1x enviroment - need - more -- hours ---- in - a ----- 
day....
