Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I am posting this question here and at motunation with the hopes that somebody has run into these problems.  

1.  MP-7, Akai MPD32, Novation KS-5, MOTU MTP-AV, MidiOX, Laptop
.I wish to use the MP-7 as the clock source and tempo control
.MP-7 Midi Out/In is plugged into the MTP-AV
.MTP-AV is plugged into the laptop via USB
.KS-5 Midi Out/In is plugged into the MPD32 (Acting as a Midi Interface)
.MPD32 is plugged into the laptop via USB

Using MidiOX, I can see note data, etc and route to and from the MP-7 and KS-5...No problems.  No matter what I do, I can't get Midi clock into MidiOX from the MP-7 via the MTP-AV.

If I take the MPD-32 out of the equation and plug it directly into the MTP-AV, no problem however, I still can't see the clock data in MidiOX.  It appears that the MTP-AV will pass clock data throughout it's midi ports but not to the laptop.

If I replace the MTP-AV with an EMU 2x2 midi interface, the clock is transmitted and can be routed via the USB and midi interfaces...all is good.  Messing around with this led me to do some experimenting and hence problem #2 popped up.

2.  MP-7, Novation KS-5, MOTU MTP-AV, MidiOX, Laptop
.If I use MidiOX as the clock source with both the MP-7 and KS-5 connected to the laptop via the MTP-AV, the KS-5 arps clock well but the MP-7 tempo is 8 times the tempo set in MidiOX.  The MTP-AV can act as an MTC master however the MP-7 doesn't seem to recognize MTC so that should be irrelevant.  I checked through out the manual and every possible menu item for some sort of clock multiplier or some indication of what would cause this multiplier to the tempo.  Funny thing is, the MP-7 Tempo display shows the same tempo value that MidiOX is transmitting but the pattern is playing 8x faster.

I have several clock sources available including Live, KS-5, MP-7, Radias but ultimately, and this may sound too old school but I want the MP-7 to be the Grand Poobah in this setup

Any ideas?

Thank-you in advance
