That's not the case unfortunately. Or I dont know what happens here...

I disabled it and no change ...

I have to transmit MIDI clock to my other instruments. The synths
need it for arp, lfo and other timing sensitive elements ...

See above.
I will do some further test here.
What makes me curious is that when I chose to merge MIDI in to out
on output port B it happened as well, however my B port isn't connected
to anything. Hm....

Really ? Maybe I'm blind but when I tried to chose the CC number
for the knob after 32 it jumped to 64 and in-between values were
omitted. Could you tell me where can I do it ?
