Analogue-sequencer

So, Jim Combs and I are here on stage at Different Skies (well, I am  
- Jim's off giving a TV interview at the moment, but his P3 is here),  
and we've found a curious problem when syncing our two P3's. The  
stage setup has an Opcode Studio 5 dealing with beat clock for all 18  
musicians, and it's programmed up with a set of presets, each one of  
which designates a different MIDI input as beat clock source, sending  
it to all destinations. When either P3 is operating as clock source,  
pressing FUNC+RUN to reset clock on the next GBar causes the  
sequencer to stop at that point instead. If the P3 is not  
distributing clock, FUNC+RUN works fine. This appears to be a  
loopback issue: the same thing happens on a single P3 with a loopback  
MIDI connection.

We should be able to reprogram the Studio 5 to work round the problem  
temporarily (assuming I can find the various OMS and serial port  
drivers), but does this classify as a bug?
