Yes, that's the one - I'm not in front of an AN!x right now ;-)

Hhhmmm, it doesn't make sense to me.

Okay, I found my notes today. The problem I was trying to recall was 
an issue recording the output of the AN1x ARP/SEQ into a software 
sequencer - there were a handful or reports of the MIDI Note Events 
being delayed by up to 1/32. I believe most of the people who 
reported this were triggering the AN1x on Beat 1 of Measure 1 rather 
than permitting the AN1x Clock to sync up with the software seqs MIDI 
Clock signal - waiting for, say, beat 1 measure 3 to begin reocrding 
also allows time for controller chasing to 'catch up.' Don't know if 
this applies to your situation.

According to my notes I did NOT test with Cubase but I'm certain an 
old demo copy of VST/24 is still installed. There are many Cubase 
users on this list but as you can tell from the list archive this 
hasn't been a prominent issue. Don't think Reg is still lurking on 
the list - he was aces with Cubase on Wintel.

You could also look up the groups for the Korg Electribes (love that 
ER-1!) or Yammie RS7000 or Roland MC-303/505/909 series...
