Chord: Control change of Shape is delayed

I’m trying to change chord shape on the fly via MIDI.
I first send a value for CC# 17 (Shape), eg 8 = M7, and then send a note-on msg.

However, I need to add a delay between the CC message and the note-on msg of around 200 ms, else the chord will change from the old value to the new value in the middle of the sound.

This is different behaviour than when using parameter locks; here the change is instant.

I wonder if this is simply a limitation of the MIDI processing of the Electron Model:Cycles? Is it something that could be improved upon?

Cheers,
Mikkel
