Sorry, but it seems you don't understand MIDI at all.

The Synths do not receive a clock which transmits a tempo, but they 
receive individual notes. Those notes are within the shuffle setting of 
course, because they are created internally (with swing in the DT.

The MFB receives the (straight) clock from the DT, and then creates 
notes for the drums internally. From the point of view of the MIDI 
principles it is the MFB which should create swing, not the DT.
