In a word: automation. It nice to have ALL the parameters available 
from one screen for quick and easy automation. Think of Logic as a 
great big, "Free EG" - get it? 

Have you checked out the amazing Jetsonic environments? Tell me the 
Step Sequencer isn't more inviting to programming from that env then 
from the front panel. And having access to ALL an effects parameters 
within a disply is handy too.

Not to mention those users with a PLG150AN card attached to a SW1000XG 
thingy or a MU rack mount or Plugstation or CS6x or S80.

What's up with Logic and AN1xEdit not running simultaneously? Are you 
on Win or Mac (I don't recall if you've said so.) I'm able to use Logic 
Audio and AN1xEdit simultaneously using OMS on a Power Mac G3 w/ OS 
9.1. If you're on a Mac I'll be happy to discuss my configuration with 
you.
