So you are changint he Assign Knob values on the AN1x to match the CC's of the 
Pro52, correct? There is CC Table available for download from NI that makes short 
work of mapping CCs from AN1x->Pro52 - you might want to spend some time with 
it to see if it makes your work more productive.

Okay, here's where I get lost - I interpret your 1st sentence to read you are updating 
the CCs transmitted from the AN1x Assign Knobs but this implies you are remapping 
CCs in B4. Which is accurate?

More than likely however, my experience is with Logic Audio not Cubase :-/ I would 
urge you check out the Cubase Mixer Maps available for download here:

I don't think Reggie is still on the list to answer question on his mixer maps but you 
might want to visit the forums at Cubase.net

See above.
