Brice,

If you listen to the mp3, you will note that 1). All three PSIMs
start simultaneously and together, so there is no issue in the
preliminary codes of the application....

Even if this were the case, and the PSIMs' timing were identical, the
result would be a constant delay between the modules, not a every
widening delay, which what you hear when the speed is slightly
different (as demonstrated in the mp3).

Dave is right on this one - the PSIMs reflect a 5% error on speed
accuracy.
