Hi Matt,

I don't own any EDPs but have a thought for your consideration.  If the 
drum machine is having buffer over runs, perhaps making it the clock 
master may correct this situation.  Of course, since I don't know the 
EDP, I don't know how yours will react slaving to an external MIDI clock.

Another solution (whichever you ultimately choose as MIDI clock master) 
is to filter out all MIDI messages except for those related to MIDI timing.

Cheers,

Bill
