Its like this...without some kind of changes in the software generating 
the code, the midi clock will be the same as it was.  Stienberg and 
(then) emagic both came out with their own proprietary interfaces to 
tackle MIDI timing problems in the late 90's, but both only worked with 
their own software specificaly because it required a low level 
interaction with the source clock..

I dont see how this timing benefit will matericalize.  It sounds like 
marketing crap to me..

for myself, I get pretty much perfect sync with cubase on my pc with a 
UM880, with the exception of how the MD handles (or rather doesnt) 
handle Song Position Pointer.   My other gear handles it...just not the MD.
