One thing I tried when I had problems using the P3 with Tracktion [software sequencer/VST host], was to use midiox's internal clock generator. I used midiox as the clock master and it drove both Tracktion via MTC and the P3 via midiclock. midiox will generate MTC and midiclock si

You guys are confusing timestamping with an actual time reference. OK, so MTC is sending an arbitrary clock to reference the two machines - it is not sending the EXACT interval of the tempo - you are assumming that each and every one of your devices are individually calcualting t
