What exactly are you trying to control with MIDI CC #016?

I'm looking at the Control Change Modes chart in the AN1x Data 
List pamphlet (p.9) and CC 16 has no default value in Mode 1. In 
Mode 2 it is LFO1 Speed. Since I don't own a PLG150AN I can 
only assume the Control Change Modes are identical. I'm 
uncertain which mode the PLG150AN defaults to but I suspect it 
would be Mode 1 and, unless you've assigned MIDI CC #016 to 
a parameter in the Control Matrix, I don't see why there would be 
any effect?

Do you mean that Ribbon Controller X & Z axis, Mod Wheel and 
Pitch Wheel have default settings? That would make some 
sense to me - but I don't understand why you are limitedto 4 
Assign Knobs settings from the CS6x. That seems arbitrary...
