I've never read any such problem description in regards to the AN1x.
When you perform a Voice Initialization which template are you
using? I would hazard a guess you've used the Sync or Bass template
and the current scene is in MONO Mode as opposed to POLY - the
symptom you described is problably nothing more than the polyphony
being exceeded.
