I was going to suggest syncing the 909 to something that can generate a more accurate clock (e.g.http://www.rv0.be/sudc.html) but surely in that case you'll be out of tune to anything using 440 tuning regardless of tempo inaccuracies .

yes, totally.
i was bringing the subject up generally as info for people using 909s as their clock source, it wasnt just about what i'm doing. it was just an observation.

its when the magic happens!
