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!
