No problem :-) But still I don't understand what you want to get.

MIDI clock stream is just a part of complex MIDI data on MIDI output  
(containing System and Channel data), and it has nothing to do with  
channels - MIDI clock doesn't include any information about MIDI  
channels. Of course you can mix those three signals as you plan, and  
when both sequences will play from two different sequencers, they can  
even have different tempos. That MIDI clock from the third input will  
become part of mixed MIDI signal on output and can't have any  
influence on channel data - they both will be controlled by their  
respective tempo setting in their respective sequencers from which  
they are transmitted.

So this new added MIDI clock will do nothing in receiving  
multitimbral instrument, but when this instrument has internal  
sequencer, and it will have loaded some music data, you can control  
its tempo (and Start/Stop/Continue) when you set it for receiving  
external MIDI clock. That's all.

At least how I understand it now after your second explanation.... My  
answer is in full agreement with Achim, he wrote the same. You will  
get two sequences in their own tempos, plus unrelated new MIDI clock  
stream. What this MIDI clock stream will do, depends only on the MIDI  
implementation and setting of the receiving unit.
