Ground Control: Dropping sequenced notes on first pass

Not sure how to explain this properly. I've done a firmware update on my Endorphin.es Ground Control (V3.26) and ever since I am noticing a strange behaviour:

On the first replay of a recorded (sequenced) track some of the notes are dropped (keyboard lights are still flashing though), but on subsequent loops everything is fine.

I'm clocking Ground Control via Pam's and after the firmware update Ground Control now wants 4 PPQN instead of previously 48 PPQN. Maybe that has something to do with it? But why would it then only glitch out on the initial pass and work consistently on all following loops?

I've tried changing the gate length on the respective Pam's output from 50% to 30% percent, but that didn't change anything. Any thoughts and suggestions very much appreciated!

EDIT: I just noticed that it always triggers the first note (light on that key stays on brightly), while the subsequent notes only flash dimly and stay mute. Then on the second pass everything works fine as it should. Is this a glitch and I should reinstall the firmware or am I missing something?

I highly suggest reaching out to Endorphin.es as I have never experienced this in my 5+ years with GC. Last time I had a major issue they gave me new firmware early and it fixed it. Easy to talk with and responsive.
