  I think it's very unlikely that modern sequencers will allow *any* MIDI clock source to act as master clock. Cubase VST used to allow it but the feature was dropped when they went to SX, deemed inadequate to sync an audio-based app to. I imagine, like banks or insurance companies, these guys all think the same.

Hmm. Ableton Live does, of course, happily time-warping samples to  
match tempo. Last time I checked, Digital Performer would run as  
clock slave as well.

When it comes to the P3, there's no obvious reason why it shouldn't   
run as a slave all  the time, but I tend to use it as a master: I  
think I'm too used to live performance, and with having the  
comfortable RUN and STOP buttons, and I suspect I have a fundamental  
belief that a clock should be a physical box.
