Hey David (innerclock). I have an mpc2500, TR606, TR808, TR727, X0Xb0X, Roland MC-4, Roland CSQ100, Kenton Pro 4 and a few anologue synths and more! hehe 
Anywayz... the point is, at the moment I only have 1 sync lead that splits into 2, so f.e. I sync my 808 and my 606 from my mpc2500 through the Kenton Pro 4, but what is the best/tightest way to sync everything up at once; buying some kind of sync24 distribution box (or making one)?
Also I bought a little CV->MIDI box from some random off ebay and was wondering if the sync24 coming out of my MC4 will be tightest? Then I can also control my 808 with one side of the split sync24 lead and my mpc through the CV->MIDI box and send midi out to the kenton pro 4 for extra sync24 duties (if i get/make another din lead).
On a different note, I've had my eyes on your Sync-Shift for ages and it'd be amazing to own/use but it's a bit expensive for me atm (570 AUD including UK shipping). If you ever drop one on the floor and scratch all the paintwork and bend the metal into oblivion, I'll buy it off ya
But seriously... I gotta start savin pennies..
Anywayz... this was a shameless attempt to talk to the man who really understands tight sync cos I live with trying to get it every day. And it's one of the main reasons I bought my mpc; to sync all my kit up as tight as poss.... as well as havin a bad-ass, inspirational sampling tool.
