Specifically i'm trying to trigger step seq patterns in an AN1X from a Virus TI and have them sound on the Virus TI. At the moment I can only seem to trigger them if I use the AN1X keyboard. Any ideas if this is even possible?

My understanding of the sequencer is that it can only be triggered from
the keyboard. I remember coming across some posts, either on this list,
or just out there on the internets on the same subject.

The sequencer will send out midi data, but it cannot be triggered over
midi. Check the AN1x manual starting from page 37 (english version).
There's no mention of MIDI-triggered sequencing, only keyboard based
triggering.

Hope to have helped.

Kind regards,

Gerald
