You can download the XP patch for XGWorks from here:

The SysEx ID header for the AN1x is completey different from that 
of the AN200. The AN200 will NOT accept the .MID transfer 
regardless of what application you use to dump from PC -> 
AN200. As a workaround, I would suggest the following:

1. Upload a copy of your .MID file to the Files section - use the 
AN1x Voices directory, please 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/files

2. Either myself, or someone else, can then download your file, 
upload it to an AN1x, then retrieve it from the AN1x w/ AN1xEdit 
and resave it as an .AN1, .ANP file or use the Export to .ANS 
function to convert your voices back into  a format in which 
XGWorks can handle.

I don't think the Mac version of AN1xEdit handles the .ANS format 
as well as the Win version but, either way, the objective is to at 
least convert your .MID into a format either you can manipulate 
further for use in the AN200.

Couple of further suggestions a) please .zip your .MID file before 
uploading if possible - otherwise, don't worry about it. b) Make 
certan you upload to the Files section - don't try to send your file 
as an attachment to the list it will be rejected by the list policies 
set at Yahoo! If you can do this in the next day I'll be happy to 
knock this out for you - otherwise it has to wait until next weekend 
;-)
