knob functions are down in the lower left-hand corner.  Just click 
on the knob you want to change, and a menu of functions will 
appear.

The Assign Knobs can be programmed to transmit the MIDI CC 
of your choice by using the Ctrl Device and Ctrl No. parameters 
under the UTILITIY/SETUP menu. When using the AN1x as a 
controller in your MIDI set-up the Assign Knobs will transmit 
these CC assignments to your external hardware/software. For 
the most predictable results - leave your AN1x set to 
LOCAL=OFF and allow your sw sequencer to rechannel to your 
VSTi's and sound modules.

Remember, settings made in the Ctrl Matrix under the 
VOICE/SCENE SETUP menu affect the internal tone generator. 
Duplicate settings under the Ctrl Matrix and Ctrl Device can 
produce unfavorable results when using the AN1x layered with 
other MIDI Instruments because the Assign Knobs transmit to 
both the internal tone generator AND the MIDI Out port 
simultaneously. 

Tip:
Using Logic Audio, I've found it easiest to leave the AN1x Assign 
Knobs default to the factory settings (MIDI CC's 41-48) and I 
create Audio Objects cabled to custom faders (or transformers if 
you prefer) in a Logic envrnoment layer for the VSTi's I use most 
often. This way I don't have to keep reprogramming the Assign 
Knobs every time I use a different VSTi. I simply select the Audio 
Object in Logic and I'm off and running...I believe Mixer Maps can 
be used for a similar purpose in Cubase and I would encourage 
you to check out the Cubase directory in the Files section for 
some examples http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/files

There are some Cubase guru's on the list (I;m not one of them - 
haha) who have uploaded some useful stuff :-)
