the sequencer.  Try going into the sequencer and changing the "MIDI

Thanks Bruce,

This was my first thought to, but my sequencer is already set to REC 
Monitor. And if I use the An1x with local-on and the sequencer 
switched off it still has a nicer sound.

My sequencer also has a miniature midi keyboard, when I play the An1x 
from that keyboard the sound is not as thick. So whenever the An1x 
receives midi notes the sound is different as in local mode.

Could this have someting to do with An1x chorus/reverb/effect 
settings? Or maybe the poly? are they bypassed when receiving Midi?
