Does KP3 MIDI OUT behave like MIDI THRU ... ???

I need my KP3 to continue the MIDI tempo (bpm) chain ...

Is this possible or is the KP3 the end of the line when it comes to MIDI bpm data ... ???

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it does ...

Please tell me I'm overlooking something ...

Unfortunately, I think the answer is no, but I'd like to know if anyone's found a workaround.

I posted a few days ago essentially with the same question (RE using a KP3 with EMX Electribe and Behringer pedal). I'm trying to keep my EMX patterns aligned with the KP3's sample loops. The sample timing issue is solved when the KP3 is the master, i.e. earlier in the chain than the EMX, but when I order them this way my Behringer pedal signals don't reach the EMX cos the KP3 doesn't forward them.

So I'm left with a dilemma: Good sync and no footpedal, or hands free and consistent alignment problems.

If noone found a workaround, then there's only one possible solution - midi thru box... The only way I can sync a synthetizer, KP3 and KP2...
