Hi Darryl,
I see your point, but I can't really agree. There are MIDI specifications about Real Time Messages and those should be the default behavior (start msg = arm play, first clock = start playing). Different behaviors should be opt-out user preferences. Obviously arming the NDLR before playing the master is not a big deal and i'm already used to it, but following the midi specs seems like a better idea.
(If Roland had interpreted the specs like this in the 80s, i would get cramps by arming boxes before i can even start the master clock!
