I have exactly the same experience when my live 1 is in slave mode synced to my Hapax, Octatrack or 2500 and also when sounds are triggered from any of the external sequencers. It seems the later MPCs are simply not cutout to be anything but master which is expected as they're "just" computers with an OS that does a lot more than run "MPC" functionality...

When set to the master my other devices are synced perfectly fine by the (probably a little wonky) clock coming from the MPC.
