that makes sense, but the funny thing is that my nord modular sequences
start playing, when I hit evolver's start button, and stops playing, when I hit
the button again, despite the fact that, obviously, the midi clock is still
streaming into the nord modular. 

What I am really trying to achieve is to sync evolver's outgoing midi
clockwith it's internal step sequencer (I know they are synced in respect of tempo,
but they do not necessarily have the same first beat in a 4/4 bar). 
Slaved to the evolver is a drum computer, that produces a click for the
drummer I want to play along with. At the first quater of a bar I want to start
my 16-step-sequence. Since the smallest unit of the midi clock stream seems to
be 24 messages per quater note, I have to be skilled enough to hit the start
button at the very first of these 24 messages. If I am a bit too late, the
notes of the sequence are always one or more messages behind the click. Now
this is theory, because in practise there is also some amount of latency
involved so that really I have to start a little in advance to compensate for this.

Any idea how to handle this?
