Paraphrased from the Beats manual:
---
While in Step Jump mode, if playback is off, selecting a step will queue the sequencer to START from that step when playback is engaged.
---
This works on both the Beats and Drum (despite being omitted from the Drum manual).
However, when MIDI Start messages are involved, the behavior breaks on the Drum.
That is to say: if you are syncing via MIDI Clock, while your sequencer is stopped, enter Step Jump mode and select Step 9 on both the Beats and the Drum. When you press play on your sequencer, the Beats will start playback from Step 9, whereas the Drum will erroneously start on Step 1.
While your sequencer is running / still passing MIDI Clock, if you manually stop the Drum, enter Step Jump mode, select Step 9, then manually start the Drum, it will start at Step 9 as intended.
It would appear to be a simple programming oversight. Is this the appropriate place to report such a bug?
Also, a related suggestion: The queued playback step on both devices resets to 1 as soon as playback is engaged. This really should stay at the chosen step - preferably forever - but at least until Step Jump mode has been exited.
Starting both devices at different times can yield happy accidents as the patterns weave - sometimes even changing where the perceived downbeat is. But, if you stop playback, you are forced to manually offset the devices each time you you restart.
