> Can you recommend a specific product which is known to pass the clock and start/stop messages through? I thought any 'merge' device would do it, but now I'm not so sure.

Apart from Unitor8 I recall that BiPort 2x4 from midiman was able to
do this. While both those devices are in theory PC/Mac midi
interfaces, they also work in standalone mode. For Unitor in such case
you only need a PC to set up the patches, and then you're free to go.
BiPort has fixed routing, no configuration is possible.

Right now you can get Unitor8 Mark I for peanuts (75$ or even less);
the only drawback is that you need an USB - serial port adapter for it
AND a PC (Mac won't do), but only to configure it. Unitor8 Mark II has
the USB connection, but is a bit more pricey. I own both and can
really recommend them. And no, I'm not going to sell them :-)

HTH,
