I think you'r confusing some AN1x terms here. Each Voice (Yamaha's term 
for a preset) may have two scenes. Each scene may be completely 
different or a variation of the primary scene. 

With AN200 you only have one voice for both scenes and you can tweak

Again, two scenes in a voice. Your comparison is six of one, half a 
dozne of the other. It works the same on the AN1x.

That's an unusual difference. I assume this was implemented due to the 
difference in polyphony and layering modes?

So there's going to be

How so? The AN1x has Variation (modulation type effects), Delay, and 
Reverb (and EQ) sections. Each effect has many parameters to be tweaked 
and one parmameter which can be altered in real time via the Common 
Param in the Ctrl Matrix.
