There is nothing wrong, I'm uncertain what you don't understand but perhaps this will 
help.

He is looking for a front end to his AN200 that will allow him to program and automate 
playback of parameters beyond what is permitted from the front panel while running his 
DAW simultaneously. The Logic Environment under discussion allows just that. The 
AN200, like many low cost instruments, offers far more depth of programability beyond 
what is accessible from the front panel. This is a trend in product design that dates back 
to the late 80's with the Lexicon LXP series, Boss SE series, etc. Since the choice of editor/
librians for the AN series that run *native* in OS X *without using Classic* is limited, it was 
suggested he try the AN200 Environment for Logic Audio which he indicated is his DAW of 
choice.

There is no need for you to be condescending - you have little to no insight into his 
recording habits to make such a rude statement.

That's over simplifying the situation. Yes, he can perform a Bulk Dump from his AN200 to 
his sequencer and store AN200 Voices, but as explained - he is looking for an Editor to 
run concurrent with his DAW.
