You need to use the MIDI Thru on the AN1x not the MIDI Out jack. Try 
this setup instead:

KS4902 MIDI Out -> AN1x MIDI In
AN1x MIDI Thru -> Quattro MIDI In
Quattro MIDI Out -> KS4902 MIDI In

I'm uncertain what benefit there is running the KS4902 in series with 
the AN1x - no doubt you have your reasons but it seems redundant to 
me.

HTH.
