I thought I was the only one with this clock problem. I have the same setup and same problem. DP loses clock all the time, usually followed by a kernal attack crash. I'm using 6.94 mostly because DP doesn't allow for RTAS on aux tracks with DAE 7. I have DP7.1 but I'm not using it with DP until DP gets the RTAS issue fixed.
As for the MIDI problem:
I have MIDI express 128, two of them, and they work fine. But, I'm having constant crashes when ever I have an audio track armed and move around on the time line. I was under the assumption that it was an audio issue, but the last time it happened and looking at the crash report, it seems that core MIDI may be involved. I'm still trying to find the root of the problem. If you don't know how, you can look at crash reports in your user/lib/ in the log folder. In there you will see another folder called crash report. Inside of that you should see a log for DP. Open that and take look to see what was causing the crash. For more information about crash reports, you can also look it up at Apple support.
Try this: when you dump your DP prefs, make sure to dump all of the DAE prefs as well. Also, you might want to take look at what version of MOTU MIDI driver you are using. MOTU recommends using the latest version, but some people are finding that different versions have worked better for various problems. Try getting rid of your com.apple.audio.AudioMIDIsetup.plist in the prefs folder. A corrupt audio MIDI pref might be the reason express 128 and remote sl are not working properly.
Also, if your not already doing so, use a cache cleaner like Tiger Cache Cleaner and run it on a regular basis. It should help keep things running. Discwarrior is also a good investment. I run both on a regular basis.
Lastly, make sure you call and email MOTU tech support and make them aware of the problems. This especially for the clock issue. They need to know that this is a problem not just with one of us. Now that I know someone else with the exact same problem, I know it's not just something with my rig. There is something wrong with DAE and DP and they need to know that it needs to be fixed.
One last thing. If you get a crash error DAE number. Be sure to write it down and post it here. I want to see if we're getting the same error numbers. The number that I keep getting isn't a known error number by either Digi or DP. Digi has told me that it is an error number that would be related to DP and not DAE, so they have no information on that number.
