actually get TWO identical notes, one from the keyboard, and one from
the sequencer. Try going into the sequencer and changing the "MIDI
echo" or "local echo" command (or something similar) to off.

Thanks Bruce,

This was my first thought to, but my sequencer is already set to REC
Monitor. And if I use the An1x with local-on and the sequencer
switched off it still has a nicer sound.

My sequencer also has a miniature midi keyboard, when I play the An1x
from that keyboard the sound is not as thick. So whenever the An1x
receives midi notes the sound is different as in local mode.

Could this have someting to do with An1x chorus/reverb/effect
settings? Or maybe the poly? are they bypassed when receiving Midi?
