Yup.  Make room for the MDUW, then.  I'm just sayin'.

Texmex answered your question on the web forum - cheers,
Texmex.

I did a standard deviation-based test of the Elektron clocks
some time ago that, while not as accurate as recording the
clock pulses as audio, was more than adequate to compare an
empty pattern with a _very_ busy one and their respective
clock output - there was no difference.  If parameter locks
were transmitted as CCs, then there might be a problem, but
I doubt it - further tests on the MIDI machines seem to
indicate that Elektron kit is programmed to give clock
priority over note events, which is as it should be.
