Can anyone here confirm I'm not crazy? I've been trying to figure out why the Arp in Studio One doesn't always start at the correct note when you trigger a chord. Heres a support thread I have going on about it on their forum.

If you put the arp into UP mode, play a C chord for 3 beats for 4 bars, the first two chords trigger on the C, which is what I would expect. On bar 3 however it will trigger on E, and on bar 4 it will trigger on G. This isn't not how I think it should work based on their documentation, but the forum mod and their support team are telling me "nope everything is fine".
I've literally never seen an arp work this way in any DAW or synth. Am I crazy?

Here's one I made a while ago, I can make one with sound if needed.
On the first chord it plays 1-6, on the second chord I would expect it to do the same, but it doesn't. It starts at 3 and plays through the arp then back to 2. The numbers correspond to notes in the arp, so the second chord is starting in the middle of the arp, i.e. not playing the notes I would expect.
Does that make sense?

I'm on a PC, and can confirm there is something strange. I made the video in this zip file. Unfortunately the playhead is not captured, but you can observe the position in the bar display. Bars 1 & 2 - as expected, 3 & 4 - start at second note in chord.
Don't believe I can define the anomaly as always that simple though...

Yup, its not easy to define. With 2 bar loop it will work correctly as long as you don't trigger more than one chord per bar. If you cut your chords to half a bar and trigger 2 per bar it goes haywire. Once you get outside of a 2 bar loop its the wild west as far as which note will trigger first.
