don't know if you mean the DAW or the MPC.

The MPC is able to be set as master or slave with the updated os.

The DAW has the problem that it must record and play continuous wavefiles. Therefore, being the slave is not straightforward like for an electribe, which just has to fire out short samples. For the electribe you have to re-synchronize the sequencer and not an audiostream, which is much simpler.
