Just FWIW, in future would you mind terribly saying what the pieces are as 
well as the model like you did with the MX-8? I personally haven't subscribed 
to any magazines for a long time, and some things may not be sold with the 
same name globally.  

Also, a block diagram would be awesome, if you have one. ASCII or linked 
preferred.
It's not clear if you're going through the patch bay or what, and it's not out 
of the realm of possibility that it is a factor.

Pre-roll has issues due to jack.

I'm curious if you tried syncing both ways without the patchbay (IOW in/out 
from the interface to one piece of gear and flipping master/slave roles).

Thanks for testing, we need all the input we can get (no pun).

Just FYI sourceforge lists default to not munging reply to addresses, so if 
you don't explicitly reply to the list, replies go to the original sender. 
Also traffic isn't all that high, so either item might be whats up.
