sequencer I am using is logic audio 4.Can I also set the assign knobs
to control the fx on the e5000. 

On the AN1x, from the UTILITY/SETUP menu, use the rocker button
beneath 'Ctrl Device' to select which Real Time Controller you wish to 
use, i.e., MW, or RBNX, or Knob 1, etc. Then, use the rocker button
beneath 'Ctrl No.' to assign a MIDI Change Control message between 1 - 
95.  MIDI CC #074 is Typically used for Filter Cutoff (sometimes called 
Brightness) and MIDI CC #071 for Resonance (or Harmonic Content.)
Once these assignments are made they will transmitted on the base 'MIDI 
Tx Ch' - and will be rechanneled accordingly to the currently selected 
track within Logic. At least, that's how it suppose to work ;-)

In my set-up I use the AN1x as a master keyboard for my ASR-X Pro 
sampler. Typically, I have Assign Knob 5 set to MIDI CC #074 for
Filter Cutoff and Assign Knob 6 set to MIDI CC #077 for Resonance. I 
know that I just said MIDI CC #071 is typically used for Resonance but 
my ASR-X requires #077 for resonance NOT #071. The point being - check 
the MIDI Implementation chart in the reference manual for your E5000 to
confirm MIDI CC # mappings. Ensoniq deviated from the std MIDI CC # 
mappings in the ASR-X - that's all :-)

Regarding the FX control in your E5K - I don't know what real time 
mappings are available to the internal E5K FX. It's been awhile since
I glanced at the E5K PDF on the E-mu web site but I _think_ you can 
control no more than one parameter at a time on the E5K FX from a
MIDI CC # of your choice (don't quote me on that.) Again, in my set-up, 
I use Assign Knob 4 set to MIDI CC #012 to control the FX on my ASR-X 
sampler. It works well for me. BTW - have you checked out their new
RFX card? Pretty cool (and for a "modest" $795 ha ha ha LOL)
