Retromod Lead - Arps do not sync to host

Just picked up RetroMod Lead and none of the arps are syncing to the host (Cubase) tempo. Anyone else see this problem with that Retromod? Am I missing some obvious setting? All of my other plugins sync to the Cubase tempo so it's not something in my setup.
If they are fixed BPM then it's kind of a deal breaker because even if I wanted to use the fixed arp tempo it doesn't list the tempo with each preset so I can't even tell what BPM they are supposed to be. I don't see a sequencer in the plugin interface so my guess is they just sampled the arps at some tempo from the hardware and left it at that. Pretty bad design if that is the case, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Confirmed using RetroMod Lead on Reaper. Preset "Arrow Arp" for instance seems to be fixed to 120bpm. Set Reaper's tempo to 120, and enable metronome, and the preset is in sync. Change Reaper to 100bpm and the metronome and preset are no longer in sync. I cannot see anywhere in the plugin to sync the arp to the host bpm.

Thanks for confirming, yeah I didn't know if I was just missing a setting or something. Makes the arps much less useable IMHO.
