I would think it more cost effective to score a 2nd hand Korg Kaoss 
Pad, or similar controller, on eBay.  I picked up a microKONTROL 
many months ago to use a desktop controller -  just received the 
Korg Legacy Collection Digital Edition as a Christmas present :-) 
Hoep to have time to install it this coming weekend...

Haven't heard of anybody moding the AN1x in this way and haven't 
found a schematic or Service Manual on the web.
