Running the risk of sounding like a smartass...

It's not a problem...it's a feature???

Phil Gallo and I have spent many hours working on this, and we did
improve it since the prototype by doubling the speed of the crystal
that drives the micro, but the bottom line is in order to upscale, the
processor has to determine the interval of the base frequency between
incoming triggers and it needs to take system cycles to do that. 
That's what you're experiencing and these are the pitfalls of a
mutliply by 2 and 3 function when dealing with realtime events.

The interval is the same as what it's receiving, it just lags behind a
few steps.  This is why the input is called 'Phase lock' and not
'external clock'

My suggestion:  use the M28 as the master clock.  Run the Oberkorn
from it.

Phil and I are looking into an expander for the m28 - a simple analog
clock to midi clock converter so that external midi devices can be
synced easily to the goings-on of the M28.
