Sorry about the delayed reply.



I think it has something to do with a different “mode” setting on the
keyboard. If you have the smaller accompaniment manual that came with the
AN1x it describes this second mode and what it is able to do.

Subject: [AN1x] Re: Triggering the AN1X Step Sequencer from an External
Keyboard





Hey thanks for the all the info dudes. I actually got this working (sort of)
today. I'll post up all the correct settings tomorrow when i'm in front of
the keys, but it was setting the TI to 'Soft Thru'that got it working. The
only problem is that though the sequence will trigger from the TI, i'm able
to play over the sequence, whereas if I triggered it from the AN1X I
wouldn't. The only way I can fix this is if I set the Seq to 'Hold' which
I'd rather not do as I can't figure out how I'd stop it from the TI.....
All these problems because the £1850 TI doesn't have a bleedin step
sequencer!

Thanks again,

Steve

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?

sort this out urgently for a few gigs happing in the next two weeks and I'm
no further on. I'm comming to the conclusion that its impossible but it
would be great to get a definitive answer.
