I think the suggestion to disconnect everything but power and audio may be a good one. Try this for a little while, because one possibility is that something in your midi chain is sending it controller data like volume and cutoff. Do you think that is possible?

Subject: [AN1x] Re: Sound problems with AN1x
I have tested my AN1x with just the headphones connected and the
problem seems to have disappeared. I then tested with the line
outputs connected and still there is no problem. Finally I tested
with the headphones and line outputs both connected and again no
problems.
The problem seems to have disappeared.
Could it be that...
1) I pressed the "assign" button while powering on the synth that
fixed the problem
or
2) My AN1x is temperamental?
Cheers
Arthur
