I might be able to get a MIDIPal/MIDIGal to do it, but I was hoping to use the MRCC for master clock...if I have multiple tempos going in and out, it's difficult to keep straight.
Many of the devices I have only use MIDI for clock info (Electronix MOFX for instance). I may have to build a MIDI breakout box that divides the clock signal, but if there's any other data (such as transport CC) then it would also get changed.
I have an E-RM Multiclock and a pair of MRCCs. IMHO, it's preferred to let each device shine and do what it does best. The separate controls and extra parameters and start/stop buttons right on the front panel (plus the BPM info, etc) of the E-RM make it very easy to send 4 different clock divisions out. The MRCC routing and merging means I can merge an E-RM clock signal with a regular MIDI note/CC datastream very easily and not have to think twice about the setup.
Yes, if the MRCC clock had external sync and responded to MIDI start/stop/continue that would make some things easier. However, the arpeggiators in the MRCC *do* sync to an external clock, so if you are using them, you can keep those in sync.
