This is normal, the BPM's are not
actually the same. They may both
claim to be 120 but one will actually
be something like 120.0247 and
the other 120.0963. Over time they will
eventually drift. They would
have to be physically connected in some
way to maintain identical
tempos, similar to " word clock " with audio interfaces.
Connecting them with MIDI does not
actually make their clocks
run at exactly the same tempo, but it provides a
point of
reference so that the slave can detect when it is drifting
and
make a correction.
