Speed Master Learn BPM limited when using DIV/MULT

Working with a grandMA3 Command Wing and trying to build a fast workflow around Speed Masters using the top button row:

- Rotary + = double speed
- Rotary - = half speed
- Button press = Learn

I noticed a strange behavior:
When the Speed Master is set to DIV / MULT mode and I press Learn, the learned BPM is not fully accepted.

Example:
It briefly shows something like 150 BPM, but then instantly clamps down to around 113 BPM.

This only happens when half/double speed is active.
If the Speed Master is set to normal (no DIV/MULT active), Learn works perfectly.

Is this expected behavior or a limitation/bug?
Is there any way to make Learn work correctly while DIV/MULT is active?

On MA2 my workflow for effects was pretty straightforward:

I would directly adjust low/high values of an effect (position) via encoders, often without really thinking in “steps”.

Now in MA3 with phasers (e.g. a simple 2-step), I’m trying to find a clean and efficient workflow.

Example:

Step 1 = low value

Step 2 = high value

My current approach in MA3 was:

use Move Handle

select step 1 / step 2 and manually adjust values (e.g. set low on step 1, high on step 2)

But this feels a bit more “manual” compared to MA2.

Always when im moving the Step Value all Lamps are straight forward ( I know its better for adjusting purposes).

But changing a Circle e.g. pan values (how wide it will go left and right) is Bit strange. I cant find a good Solution for adjusting only Pan or only tilt.

It is an relative effect or it should be a relative Position effect, No absolute preset values Stored.

Thanks for your help!
