It seems that some synths can't keep up with fast MIDI messages. For
instance, my Roland JD800 exhibits some odd behaviour if I send sequences at
it nut-to-butt i.e dropped notes, stuck notes, notes tied etc.  If I insert
a gap of 250 uS between each message, it works just fine. No unusual
behaviour. 

We're seeing some odd results with a Kenton Pro2000 MIDI to CV converter  -
it sees the MIDI data but doesn't generate voltages. And yet it works fine
with a Sequentix P3.
 
Best wishes
