Pete,

The stand alone AN Expert Editor for both Win/Mac can be had for free 
from Yamaha here:

http://www.yamahasynth.com/download/plg_series.html

This should accomodate .AN2 format.

Also, AN1xEdit for both Win/Mac be had for free from here:

http://www.xgfactory.com/html/down/an1xed_1.htm

This will also work with your AN200, but I don't believe it 
accepts .AN2.  .AN1 and .ANP are still the most common.

Many of the Download links on XG Factory are osbsolete as Yamaha has 
not maintained them - as a consequence the associated URLs on the 
AN1xFAQ are adversely affected :-/ I intend to make time to correct 
this in the coming months.

Perhaps someone will follow your instructions and provide either 
a .MID or .SYX file for you to attempt s 'refresh' of your AN200.  
There are links to some SysEx ed/lib utilties on AN1xFAQ, here:
