If you open the arrangement and set the loop to bars 1-8, or 1-16, it will be pretty much immediately obvious what's happening, and why the launches happen when they happen. Whenever the playhead line reaches a bar number that's divisible by your launch quantize setting plus one it's row launch time.

Thank you. I will check this out when I get a chance in the next couple of days. Strange that just selecting the quantisation using the buttons doesn't just do it.

Great! There are so many things to learn with this device.

Even if you know how it works, I think it's still possible to mess up by playing a shorter part or break, if you forget where the arrangement position is.
