I would suggest you start with the AN1x Voice Set-up Guide. This .pdf has examples of
Voices to be programmed on the AN1x, but the same sounds are applicable to the AN200
(with the exception of Dual Mode, etc.):

You'll find the PLG150AN Power User's guide and the Stand Alone PLG150AN editors here:
http://www.yamahasynth.com/download/plg_series.html
and the XGworks plug-in here;

I would encourage you to try AN1xEdit as it works with AN* units and simplifies the
sharing of user Voices. AN1xEdit can be had for download from the Files section of AN1x-
list here at Yahoo! Groups. You will find the Win and Mac versions in the apporiate
directories here:

We use to have many active links to synth programming tutorials in the Links section of
AN1x-list here at Yahoo! Groups, but I find many of them are no longer active. Guess it's
time to do some house cleaning:

Good luck.
