Pattern not changing (NOT M.Len+Ch.Len issue!)

Digitone does not immediately load a pattern after pressing [PTN] + [TRIG 1-16] with the sequencer stopped. The change only takes effect when I start the seq. This extra step of having to start the sequencer is annoying if all I want to do is cycle through my patterns to check sounds, etc.
Perhaps I am missing something? Or is this a feature of the machine.

Apologies if this is really obvious or addressed elsewhere. Didn’t seem to find in manual or other thread!
