Actually, #1 is "no" and "yes".  No, it will not record sysex.  Yes, it will play back sysex!  I know that sounds stupid (and it is) but what it does allow you to do is load a sequence up to your computer via E-Loader, add the sysex to it with your favorite sequencer, then download it again.  Lame, but it's a workaround.

Furthermore, #2 is yes, though not through passthrough.  MIDI Clock is stripped from "Soft-Thru" but it WILL regenerate clock while slaved.

#3 yep, with OS 2.0 you can RT record pattern changes and mutes.

#4 not sure which one you're talking about, but there's at least one empty socket for OS updating via EEPROM chip instead of MIDI.

Well I know the answers to #1 and #2

Yes it will record sysex from external devices make sure in the midi page it is set to do so tho first.
And you can select a midi thru option to send the clock thru to the other devices.

I haven't tried much in song mode yet sorry and I never noticed an empty socket unless you mean for additional sound chips.
