Yes, it acts like a sampler triggering a loop.
Tempo works well - no latency issues with MD and Logic.
Sometimes a pattern gets triggered twice on start: that's because the 
MD internal sequencer isn't in "stop" or something else. Anyway 
pressing play and then stop fixes this.

I bet you can alter the tempo if you slave the MD and make tempo 
variations in Logic.

Now, I'd really like to see this simple feature implemented in the next 
MD os update:
- muting should be available (and send data) via midi!
This is the only drawback in my setup (MD synced to Logic): I have to 
create a new pattern if I want to mute a track - muting can't be 
recorded in the external sequencer.
Does anyone else need this?
