The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Thanks for the response. I should have been a bit clearer in my 
first post. So, first, I'll back track a bit.

The CS6X has numerous control buttons on it, many of which 
work with the PLG-An in an identical manner to the built-in tone 
generator. For example, there are cutoff and resonance buttons 
that control said parameters on the CS6X as well as the 
PLG-AN. Ditto the mod wheel and pitch bend and ribbon, but the 
latter only after you have set the ribbon to receive on cc22 (or 
whatever cc# you have set on your CS6X) in An1xedit.

The CS6X doesn't have a matrix per se, but 6 "control sets" with 
each set allowing you to assign a controller to a single 
parameter. Now, when you edit a PLG-AN voice you do NOT have 
access to these control sets. Instead you have a screen that 
allows you to assign controllers to CC#, called AC1-4. I am 
assuming these correspond to AC 1 through 4 in AN1Xedit--BUT 
I AM NOT sure since the documentation for neither the plg nor 
An1Xedit makes any reference to it. When you assign a 
parameter on the CS6X, say to the mod wheel, you have to use 
up one of these control sets. Even though you only have 4 with 
the PLG-AN, two less, it appears that you can assign these three 
controllers from within AN1xedit and still leave 1-4 free.

On the CS6X you can assign ONE parameter--that controlled by 
AC1. You cannot control the other three from the synth menu 
system.

On the CS6X, there are two user definable knobs that one uses 
for each voice--they can be assigned freely. They default to #16 
and 17. So what I did was assign Ac1, for example, to #16 and 
set the corresponding AC in AN1xedit to #16 as well and then set 
a parameter. It did not work.

But maybe I overlooked something simple.....
