Going off topic I know but can you say what your computer setup for the Timepiece is? Do you use Clockworks?
Oh, sorry if I didn't furnish enough information.
The reason I use a MOTU Midi Timepiece AV with a USB (as opposed to an older version which used a firewire) connection, is that my ancient Roland A-80 has only Midi In, Midi Out and Midi Thru ports; being vintage 1990, it has no USB capability within itself.
The Midi Timepiece AV (Audio/Visual, so it can clock to SMPTE) plugs into a Mac Pro Tower Vintage 2010 which has been gutted of all four of its spinning hard drives, replaced by two PCIe m.2 SSD's @ 2TB each, one of which is used as the boot drivem, and now sports 12-cores that can be hyperthreaded to 24 cores. The Mac Pro is running the latest version of MacOS Sierra 10.12.5.
Since you asked about Clockworks:
Clockworks is used for cable routing (like a MIDI patchbay), as well as other settings such as pedal settings, sync settings, etc. Because I use my Motu MidiTimepiece AV interface with Digital Performer or Apple Logic Pro X (ten), the sequencers handle all midi cable routings without the need for Clockworks.
Although this is not part of the original question, audio output is handled by an Apogee Duet. Needless to say, latency is not a problem with this setup.
Cheers,
Joe
