Its how the digitakt works. When you send it a message to change pattern, it does so on the next chance to change the pattern, which if its not playing already, it will send the message on the down beat, which means it will trigger the pattern change on the NEXT down beat. So you have to send the message before you want it to happen. When the tracks quantization is set to "none" it means it sends the program change message right when you press the button, which is usually a little early, rather than right when the pattern would change (the downbeat of 1, or whatever you set the quantization to). You might be able to work around it by muting your digitakt, triggering a scene or clip with the pattern change message, then the next scene unmute your digitakt. Kinda a pain, but its a thought.
