dont know about the boss machines but old roland tr series are all using 
very slow micro's for the seq. I've found that they will track perfectly up 
to a point - when midi/din clock reaches a certain point the processor cant 
go thru all it's instructions before the next pulse & so there are glitches 
and missed beats everywhere... basically not designed for extremely fast 
running, but a clock equivalent to 200 bpm should not be a prob for a 
correctly functioning machine..
Cheers,
Dan
