Thank you for testing this SerErris. The NDLR does not pass SSC messages. Originally, NDLR did not consume them either, we added support for using SSC messages based on customer request. Lots of Deluge owners defined how it works now. We had to go back and look at the code to remind is how we decided it should be this way.
We believe the majority of NDLRs are not passing their sequencer data through the NDLR. In fact, we had a few requests to turn off passing clock so that a sequencer providing clock, parallel to The NDLR would provide clock to devices via a MIDI router or splitter. The NDLR would get clock from the splitter. The setting for turning off the clock pass through is in the NDLR boot menu, accessible by holding the Shift and Menu button while powering on The NDLR.
We also didn't want SSC messages passing through for our own sanity, because it can cause inadvertent starts and stop to external gear when you might not want it to.
So we haven't had other requests for this that I can recall, and its not something we would just turn on because it could cause issues with current users setups. However, if there is demand for passing SSC, we could add an option in the boot menu to pass it, but our recommendation is to not pass all of your sequencers data through The NDLR, it will add latency and potentially cause jitter within The NDLR.
