Where are you seeing the readout of the tempo ? Is it on the display of
the G-Major, showing the tempo of incoming sync ?
Generally devices receiving sync will have a timer value of the time
between two clock ticks, and will do an integer long division to get the
actual tempo value.
Maybe the device doesn't have the timer resolution or arithmetic
accuracy in the calculation of tempo to get closer to the actual value
than the numbers it is displaying.
