From your description it sounds like your AMT8 is receiving a 
program change command and as a result is inc/dec through it's 
internal patches. Does this happen ONLY when performing an 
edit from within AN1xEdit or are you using a second hardware 
controller by chance? Perhaps a MIDI loop is occuring - I had a 
MIDI loop result in all kinds of havoc in my MIDI set-up recently.

At present I use an Opcode Studio 128x (similar to an AMT8) and 
I typically leave program one on the 128x set to a null 
configuration for use with my sequencing environment and other 
MIDI apps. Is your AMT8 by chance defaulting to a program with 
some custom MIDI mapping for stand alone use? I use a few 
programs on the 128x to route the AN1x (my controller keyboard) 
to other hardware devices for stand alone use, i.e., no computer 
turned on. Perhaps you do the same with the AMT8?

Just some ideas....I think you should check out the Sound Diver 
list as Gary suggested. That's probably your best shot :-)
