I'm not sure your ProjectMix I/O has this issue or not because this is 
my assumption from behaviour of Firewire 1814. Firewire 1814 and 
ProjectMix I/O are quite similar. So at first I ask you to confirm 
ProjectMix I/O really has this issue.

If ProjectMix I/O has buffer overflow for MIDI messages, it transmits 
packets with discontinuity. ALSA driver can detect it and report it to 
syslog:
kernel: [19757.225489] snd-bebob fw1.0: Detect discontinuity of CIP: E8 40

So please confirm to see such logs when sending much MIDI messages to 
your ProjectMix I/O.


Thanks
