.an1 is the file type used by AN1xEdit, the freeware editor/librarian 
for Mac/Win as supplied by Yamaha.  This format has long been the 
standard for sharing Voice on AN1x-list as AN1xEdit will work with 
every AN* related device.

AN1xEdit will run under Classic along with OMS if you are running 
Panther AND your MIDI Interface has native OS X support - then you 
should be able to define a Studio Setup document with OMS under 
Classic that "see's" your MIDI Interface - this will allow you to 
transmit and receive AN1x Voices using AN1xEdit.

If you are running Panther, you will likely need to use MIDIBridge9x 
(still in beta? I'm no longer certain...) to create a virtual patch 
between your MIDI Interface under OS X and OMS under Classic 
otherwise OMS will not communicate with your MIDI Interface. Apple 
changed something in Panther in regards to how information is passed 
between layers for the USB ports... 

FWIW, AN1xEdit works as exepcted under Classic in Panther using an 
Emagic MT4 with OMS 2.3.8 on my system as does the MIDIMAN UNO.  I 
was never able to successful configure MIDIBridg9X and OMS under 
Jaguar.

Good luck.
