There is an overview (Readme file) of system requirements, etc. 
for AN1xEdit included with the download along with some 
example banks of AN1x Voices in .an1 format. In addition, there 
is an indexed AN1xEdit Help file available from within the 
program. Please feel free to post back to the list with specific 
issues if you get hung up on something :-)

There has been much, thorough discussion regarding USB MIDI 
Interfaces in use with AN1xEdit on both Mac and Win. It is 
particularly problematic on the Mac platform using OMS. If you 
are interested in the details I would recommend you search the 
list archives where you will find posts specific to USB Bandwidth 
vs. Error Checking vs. the size of the SysEx packets used by the 
AN1x vs. different brands of USB capable MIDI Interfaces. Be 
aware the SysEx dump files for the AN1x are unusually large in 
size compared to many other synths, i.e., not very efficient.

Welcome to the list.

regards,

Jon
