Step Sequencer On/Off
The Step Sequencer can only be activated when the
Arp/SEQ parameter (VOICE ARPEGGIO/SEQ menu) is set
to “Step SEQ”.
You can turn the Step Sequencer on and off by pressing
the [ARPEGGIO/SEQ] switch. When the Step Sequencer is
turned on, “SEQ” will appear in the lower right area of the
LCD.
When Arp/SEQ is set to “Arpeggio”, the various parameters in the SEQ
EDIT/SETUP menu cannot be accessed.
Setting The Step Sequencer Tempo
Set the [EDIT ROTARY] switch to VOICE COMMON and
press Tempo [UP/DOWN] to set the tempo of the Step
Sequencer in BPM (Beats Per Minute).
If you want the clock of an external MIDI sequencer or drum
machine to control the AN1x’s tempo, then set the Tempo to
“MIDI” (the first value located before “40”), so that the two
devices will play in synchronization with each other.

Modes
Pressing Hold [UP/DOWN] lets you turn the SEQ Hold
function on and off. Depending on Keyboard Mode
setting, there are two additional Hold modes.
When SEQ Hold is set to “on”, “HOLD” will appear in
reverse type in the lower right corner of the LCD. After
triggering the Step Sequencer by playing the keyboard,
the sequence will continue playing automatically when you
release the key, until you switch the Hold setting to “off”,
or press [ARPEGGIO/SEQ] to stop the Step Sequencer.
When KbdMode is set to “sel&norm” or “sel&shift”, two
additional SEQ Hold mode settings are available:
“mode1”, which triggers a pattern every time a key is
pressed, and “mode2”, which triggers a pattern after the
current sequence finishes, even if you press a key during
the middle of the current sequence.
The SEQ Hold function, used in conjunction with Layer
mode and Keyboard Mode settings, greatly expands your
live performance options. It’s also indispensable for
searching for Voice and User Patterns, as well as for
editing a pattern or tweaking various tone generator
parameters for your sequence sound with the CONTROL
knobs.
