The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Just to follow up on this....a little history....not all synths transmit MIDI clock, only about half of my dozen synths do.   In general, early synths have left the clock master to the drum machines & recorders and let the synths sync to those.  Later synths that joined the class of "workstations" provided a MIDI clock to external devices as the workstations had internal MIDI sequencers.  Many non-workstations still rely on having an external MIDI clock if they were to sync to an external device.

The work around to have the AN1x receive external MIDI clock is a good viable alternative.

  The AN1x does not transmit MIDI Clock. You can synchronize the AN1x Arp/Seq to an 
  external clock - such as a drum computer - but not the other way around (as you've found.)
