Trixie,

AN1xEdit has an Export command which allows you to save your library of sounds as 
either a MIDI File .mid or a MIDIEx File .syx. In PLG150AN Mode you can easily 
manage your PLG150AN sound banks in AN1xEdit, use the Export command with the 
MIDIEx option to create a .syx file, then load/store the file into your Boss BL1. I'm not 
familiar with the BL-1 Bulk Librarian so I'm making an assumption that it can load a 
.syx file from disk. You should then be able to load/recall your PLG150AN settings 
from the Boss to the PlugStation.
