Strange...sounds like the issue is specific to the CS6x. Have you
checked the CS6x list?

In my experience with the AN1x, a Voice will not sound when the Tempo
is set to MIDI unless the unit is receiving MIDI Clock from an
external source. It makes sense when you thing about it - when set to
MIDI how else would the unit 'know' what tempo the ARP/SEQ should
playback?!
