Playbeat beat / bar awareness - and I think I know the answer

Feature Requests Playbeat
1

Not entirely sure if I should post this is feature request or help
I have the whole suite
chordjam and riffer seem to be bar aware with my DAW, which is to say, if I have a 4 bar sequence, and I start my DAW on bar 5, it starts playing in chordjam or riffer from the 2nd bar of the sequence

Where as, playbeat I think is beat aware, regadless of where I start my DAW, it will sync to the next beat and play from the start of the sequence in playbeat, so if I have a 4 bar sequence in playbeat and start playing my DAW at the start of bar 2, it does not start at bar 2 in the playbeat sequence…

confusing I know

I note that playbeat play from the 2nd grid position if I dont start it on the beat in the DAW, which seems a bit unusual.

Basically, I can only make playbeat start playing at grid 1, or grid 2 (generally out of 16 beats on the grid) regardless of where I start playback in my DAW, where as chordjam and riffer will start at the right spot.

Now… I think this is possibly because playbeat allows polyrhythms and the others do not?

Hello dissonate,

Yes, that is the case and is made to work like that by design. What you mentioned is a interesting scenario and i will forward this to the rest of the dev-team in case we can add a second mode on our settings that will allow different playback mode(s) when using it in DAW.
