You'll need to edit the Controller Template to match the MIDI
CC's to suit your needs. I don't know how else to express that -
your application of the Controller Template is not what it was
intended for. You'll need to customize it to suit your needs if you
choose to continue with this course. The alternative is to build a
Logic Environment which remaps AN1x parms to Pro-53 parms.

No offense, but I think your time would be better spent studying
the principles of subtractive synthesis and applying those
lessons to your Pro-53. IMO, you're application of the Controller
Template "to dump patches onto a VSTi" is noteworthy but hardly
an adequate substitute for basic synth programming skills.
