That's great for you! What's a .all file? I'm not familiar with that. 
I'm really surprised the Base Address ID for the AN1x worked for 
the AN200 - live and learn.

The FreeEG allows you to record, i.e., automate, paremter 
adjustments for playback in real time. For example, you could 
record adjustments to parameters such as Fliter Cutoff, VCO 
Edge, VCF Attack and VCA Release so that they were saved as 
part of the Voice and playback automatically upon a note on 
event. Very cool. 

The Feedback parameter take the signal output from the 
Mixer->Filter->VCA and 'feeds' it back into the signal chain from 
the Mixer - therefore creating a 'fatter' sound - good for leads and 
basses.

Actually, I think you might be able to if AN1xEdit is in PLG150AN 
Mode - found under the Setup menu.

The PLG150AN and AN200 do not have the same effects 
selection as the AN1x - specifically, the VariEF/EQ will default to 
Amp Sim.
