It depends...if you have a number of MIDI and Audio tracks 
running simultaneously in your MIDI/Audio sequencer (Logic 
Audio, Cubase, Sonar, ProTools Free) you might find it beneficial 
to simple sync the AN1x Seq/Arp until you're ready for mixdown. 
At that point record the AN1x audio output to a stereo track and 
then MUTE the track containing the original MIDI data.

Recording the output of the AN1x Arp/Seq into your sequencer 
allows you to reassign that data to other MIDI modules and/or 
PlugIns - which can be VERY useful! In this case, set the MID Ptn 
Tx Ch value (under the VOICE ARP/SEQ menu) to a MIDI 
Channel other than the base Trns Ch your AN1x is set too. Once 
you've successfully recorded the output from the AN1x Arp/Seq 
into your sequencer simply resave the current AN1x Voice with 
the Arp/Seq diabled! Now when you recall the AN1x voice in your 
sequece it will respond to the note data without double triggering 
the Arp/Seq (which I'm sure MANY of us have done inadvertanly 
over time.)

HTH.
