Not only that, but I've noticed that it doesn't sync really nicely when acting as a Slave. I had some pretty noticable midi-latency when I was using in Live. I had a 4/4 beat running in live, with a basdrum playing in Live and the beatstep playing a sequence with percussion samples, on a different channel, so nothing extreme going on here... But somehow, the beatstep didn't manage to start at the right time, lagging behind a little, and what's more, each time i stopped and hit play again, the lag seemed to be different...
Quirky behaviour, to say the least.
And yes, changing the pattern length is totally real time now, so you have to hit the pad on the right time, but what's more, it seems you have to hit it on an upbeat, which is perhaps even more confusing for some, although, once used to that, it's ok. Nevertheless, it would be nice to have at least the option to force the changing of the pattern length to a grid...
Btw: beautiful unit...
