I'm sorry, I just don't understand this. In the MIDI implementation
chart in  the JamMAn manual it clearly states that all MIDI data with
the exception of MIDI clock is echoed to the JamMAn's MIDI out. I also
use sequencers and other devices to generate mIDI clock and my
experience is that the clock will NOT go thru my JamMan. Because I have
other devices that also will not echo MIDI clock that need to be
simultaneously slaved I have resorted to using pMIDI patchbays as
splitters. I have used both a MX8 and a yamaha MEP4 with satisfactory
resulsts.
