MIDI/Digital Synchronicity

[Cloudschatze]

This is computer related, honest.

Is there anything glaringly wrong with the following synchronzation setup? It looks fine on paper, and works in practice, but the goal is a "best-practices" configuration.

Has anyone else had to deal with this stuff? Since "best-practices" is somewhat subjective,  I'll take as many opinions as I can get.



MIDI Clock/Sync

Master:
- Cakewalk PA8.0 (computer-based performances)
Or
Master:
- Roland D-10 (performance-based, err... performances)

Slave:
- Roland XV-5080 (BPM, effect tempo)
- Boss VF-1 (effect tempo)

Filtered:
- Roland MPU-401AT
- Roland LAPC-I
(FYI: The Roland MPU interfaces, by default, transmit MIDI clock messages while in intelligent mode.)


MIDI Time Code (MTC/SMPTE)

Master:
- MOTU MTP AV (Type: 30)

Slave:
- Roland VSR-880 (Type: 30)
- Cakewalk PA8.0 (Type: 30)


MIDI Machine Control (MMC)

Master:
- MOTU MTP AV (DevID: 20)

Transport Master:
- Cakewalk PA8.0

Slave:
- Roland VSR-880


Digital Reference Clock
Having two setups for the digital clock is annoying. Alas, Gina doesn't have a word-clock input...

Setup 1 (Recording from XV-5080)

Master:
- MOTU MTP AV (Word-clock OUT, 48000Hz)

Slave:
- Roland XV-5080 (Word-clock IN > R-BUS)
- Roland VSR-880 (R-BUS)


Setup 2 (Bouncing tracks VSR-880 <> PC)

Master:
- Echo Gina (D.Coa. OUT, 48000Hz)

Slave:
- Roland VSR-880 (D.Coa. IN)
