i had a problem with synced gear with the opsix mk1. when the brute is in (int) clock mode and chain mode is on, selected 4 patterns. Each time a new pattern starts, the synced device does not play the first step. the opsix has only a 16 step sequencer. i had the opsix sequencer speed on 1/2 so I could hear the problem very well. after chasing the issue I found out that each time a new pattern starts in chain mode in (int clock mode) that the device sends a PLAY command, over sysex, over mmc if enabled, and over CC if enabled. this causes the slaves to hick up on the first step. the only way I could solve this is to disable the transport RX on the slaves and set the clock to ext instead of auto and setting them on play so they wait for a clock. this way I could block the unwanted transport command each time it changes a pattern in chain mode. in mid clock mode I don’t have that issue. i believe so I need to check again
