The bandwidth here isn't an issue, I don't care about (technical

specifications regarding to) this, but some equipment was standard for

pro audio studios and it would be nice to be able to use it today (while

it already wasn't easy to use it in the 80s too). There're three ways to

handle MTC and the quarter way is just one way to go. If you've good

luck, you even don't need a pre-roll (loop play can be possible, but

usually it isn't), but in the worst case equipment A can't be used with

equipment B, so MTC isn't reliable in real live, even if there's enough

bandwidth. I anyway did and do use dedicated MIDI IOs, I didn't refer to

the bandwidth, but to the fact that respectable brands failed, because

many vendors handled MTC in different ways.
Equipment from e.g. Dave Smith shouldn't be used as doorstopper. I don't

care e.g. about my Yamaha RX21.
I mentioned that it would be nice to have perfect MTC and Paul explained

that there can't be perfect MTC.
