Erkki,

No, that's EXACTLY right!- ALL sequencers in all synths (apart from ones
which are bollocks hehehehe!) sequence note data- that's pretty much the
reason why they are there in the first place! In fact it's not just note
data, but every kind of parameter it's been programmed to respond to. Synths
like the Korg MS2000 only have a very few modulation possibilities- the AN1x
on the other hand is bursting with them- which (un)fortunately also makes it
very powerful and therefore very complicated!-

The reason your menu is blinking is usually because it's expecting you to
save something- unless you have the wrong power supply in the back- having
the wrong voltage can sometimes make electronic components fail- so check
that as well.

>(correct me if I´m wrong - I am not an expert).

Don't frett-I'm not that much of an expert either- all those functions on one
knob initially confused the hell out of me, and subsequently only really
started getting into programming it about a year ago. If your programming the
sequencer, you'll already infront of me hahahahaha!- Actually my main synth
(sorry guys and gals) is my Clavia Nord Modular- it can do everything the AN
can do ,but better- Although the AN has better and possibly the most
haunting sound of the two!

good luck!
