^ well, the above theory was sound, but sadly as soon as program changes were introduced, the midi clock was massively unstable, rendering it useless. Oddly, the same is also true if the program changes are sent by ableton and my Space is set to Thru instead of Merge. It seems I’m destined to not be able to sync program changes between my two eventides live at all, which is kinda crap. The clock is as solid as a rock as soon as I ditch the program changes.
