A4 Song Mode Sync Issues with Model:Cycles

First post. Hi!
When I sync the M:C with A4’s song mode, the M:C will be late to change the pattern. How late the M:C is depends on its pattern change setting.

However the strange thing is that it doesn’t do this with every pattern. Some transitions sync perfectly.

I saw someone suggest to put the M:C in Pattern mode rather than Track mode, but that didn’t make much of a difference either.

Is there a setting I’m missing between the A4 and M:C?
