BPM under 108 does not initiate transport until the first 8 steps are played when transport is started from Tracker Mini

Bug Description

When the tracker mini is set to a tempo of 107 bpm or lower, the Play+ does not initiate when the transport is started from the mini, causing the Play’s sequences to be late. After these first 8 steps, the Play+ responds to external transport commands as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Connect and set up the tracker mini to lead the Play+ midi clock and transport.
  2. Set the tempo of the mini to 107 bpm or lower
  3. Press play on the tracker mini

Notice that the Play+ does not begin it’s sequence until the first 8 steps are played on the tracker mini. If the user stops the the sequence once the Play+ initiates, it will then begin the sequence at the appropriate time when started again by the tracker mini. Tempos of 108 bpm and higher will start without issue.

Occurrence / Frequency

Hi @Origami_Poltergeist.
Sorry for such a late answer. I was trying to reproduce this issue, but on my setup, Play+ starts its sequence as soon as I hit play on my Mini. There is no delay.

Could you make a video of this issue on your side?
Thanks!

No worries! Ill drop a video of it once i get home later today. Thanks for getting back to me.

I hope gifs are alright​:slightly_smiling_face: I also wanted to give a little extra detail about the last comment in the report where the Play+ initiates as expected after this particular hurdle, as this occurs only on power up and after project loads on it. Oddly enough, if I catch it before 8 steps, I can keep it “stuck” in this action until the 8 steps are played. Oh, and just in case it’s relevant, I’m using a simple 1.5ft TRS cables for the midi jacks. Hope this helps!
