In the VCA section you have the Amod Depth. This really rocks but... I'm
not able to change the speed of that... I always have to set the BPM (of
a song) to the speed of the Amod Depth...Is it possible to change that?
If Yes; How can I do that?

The VCA Amp modulation is provided by LFO1 (if you are using AN1xEdit
and let the mouse hover over a control...a tool-tip will popup to tell
you the source of such modulations ;-)

You can vary the LFO1 speed, and you can get it to retrigger on each
note on.....but you cannot directly sync it to song tempo ;-(

A better way of doing this if you do actually want the modulation synced
to song tempo is to use the FreeEg. 

-  Draw a suitable FreeEG track to control <VCA Volume> on the relevant
scene (or scenes).

- Set the <FreeEG Length> parameter to one of the MIDI tempo related
values: e.g. 1/2bar - 8bar. 

- Set the <FreeEG> trigger to FREE (unless you want to retrigger on each
note)

- Set the voice <Common Tempo> parameter to MIDI. 

Assuming your sequencer is sending MIDI clock to the AN1x, the amp
modulation should now be perfectly synchronised to the song.

(Remember to set your original <VCA Amod depth> to zero unless you want
two sources of amp modulation ;-)
