Is there any information available on the latency introduced by routing hardware through this device? By how much are midi messages delayed?
I must have missed this quotation, sorry.
The way that the multiclock works is that the outputs can be started and stopped individually.
When users press a button to start sending clock on an output, it waits to do so as in a quantized pattern change relative to the master or incoming external clock, much like selecting patterns on an Elektron box or launching clips in Ableton Live.
Tracks with a negative offset will actually send their clock messages ahead of the others and the incoming external master clock signal.
It does not actually delay all of the other outputs to achieve this; it is a real negative offset.
It's the combination of the two features, the quantized- or launching-style transport controls, and the offsets that enable the user interface to allow this to be easily programmed.

I measure using a rigol oscilloscope.
I use a multiclock to achieve the tight timing by offsetting the clock pulses until all my sequencers are as close to in phase as the multiclock will allow.
The issue is not with the cables of course. The issue is with the system, not just with the device at the end.
It should compensate all the time. If it introduces 1.4ms, offset 1.4.
I already explained that it waits four pulses to send the negatively offset ones.
OK, I don't know what oscilloscope my tech uses.
What I am not understanding is: how should/would the master clock be able to compensate? If the master clock is, in fact, the MASTER, then there's nothing to compensate for: it is the one giving the clock and that's it. But maybe you have another idea or explanation of what you mean with the "compensation" - I'll be happy to read about it (I'm not saying it won't be feasible or won't work!) ;-)
As oldgearguy correctly said: the negative offset is just actually a *positive* one (applying delay to all other clocks). There is no negative delay possible...
F.
