So are you saying that I can assign for example the modulation wheel as a ribbon controller, or any other virtual controll knob in an1xedit? So that it could change certain parameters to vari the sound of the synth?

Assuming your physical contoller allows you to remap MIDI CC's 
then the answer is yes. SImply assign MIDI CC 13 (X) or 12 (Z) to 
a knob, slider or wheel on your controller and make a 
corresponding entry for your PLG150AN Voice in the Ctrl Matrix 
section of AN1xEdit as explained in the previous posts in this 
trhead That's all there is to it. The PLG150AN is oblivious to what 
generates the MIDI CC message - so long as it corresponds to a 
logical entry in the Ctrl Matrix all is well.
