I'm uncertain exactly what it is your asking or what your objecive is :-/

Pitch Bend is a dedicated MIDI CC, and on the AN1x the Pitch wheel cannot be
reassigned.

Each Scene within a Voice can be set to separate Pitch Up and Down values,
but these
values are specific to that Voice and NOT sent out as MIDI Controller info.

Does that help?
-----------------

I think.  What I'm asking is if the pitch wheel can be globally assigned to
pitch up and down an octave regardless of the patch used.  On every other
synth I've owned, the pitch wheel parameters were a global setting, not
patch by patch.  Does that make sense?

There is no global override for the Pitch Up/Down value.

Jon is correct.
To most folks, this is an Excellent Feature.  Consider - this is an analog synth
and some sounds can sweep over 2 octaves for effects, but others, being used for
musical, lead type sounds might require only the common whole step (two key)
sweep for performance.

I'd advise familiarizing yourself with AN1xEdit, the excellent
programmer/libraian software developed by listmember Gary Gregson.  If you want
to do anything quickly with a good view of what's going on in the synth engine,
this program will really help.  When you get it set up and pull all of the
patches/scenes from your synth, it won't take long to edit the patches to the
pitch wheel span you want and to dump them back to the AN.
