Stuck in Overdub Mode at Startup

[Lonzo5]

When I power on the device, Overdub Mode is enabled.  When I first got the device, I immediately loaded the latest firmware, and this was not happening at all.  I have since saved a few patterns and chains, and at least 2 scenes, and the issue with Overdub seems to have cropped up in the last two weeks or so.  I've tried saving both the pattern and scene with it turned off, but it's always turned on when I first switch the unit on.  I've since done a factory reset and another firmware update, but am having the same issue.

Same issue here, another annoyance.

Yes its always on at startup.

Update: No change after loading new firmware.  Just weird.

Same here.

Same again here, firmware update didn't fix this.

"...the overdub is on by default, as the keystep pro is highly oriented towards polyphonic sequencing."

I want to be able to choose this by default in the settings, not just have to deal with the random decision of some software engineer!

Agree with above, I use it for Eurorack not poly anything.

The Overdub feature being turned off by default would in no way impede polyphonic sequencing.

Pressing the button to turn it off is pretty easy, I find.  Not really an issue.

I just got my Keystep Pro a few hours ago and immediately noticed this, even after updating to 1.26.  I really don't feel this is something that needs to be on by default and we should have the option to toggle whether we want to see this on, or off, on power up.

I don't see a reason why it should be dictated upon us, by Arturia.  I don't want to use the overdub mode, unless by choice, so would like it disabled until I CHOOSE to enable it.

It's fairly easy to turn off, but it's also an issue.  If it were meant to be on by default, it would be an "Overwrite" button, not "Overdub".  Not to mention, this is something that suddenly occurred weeks into use, without any kind of update, which is odd.
