It isn't USB.  I understand what you are saying but none of my other 
MIDI devices have bad sync with Cubase's MIDI clock.

Yes

I know, bad isn't it - it is however true.  Besides this Elektron 
told me it would be best to have the MD sync to Cubase not the other 
way round.

Has no-one else experienced this apart from Pandersuperstar and 
myself?
