Its just that it does not work with my TI...

Midi will always sound smudgy as you add more and more tracks. That's why certain artists refuse to use it at all.
Actually I tried file number 3 again today, and found the following:
1) Once I'd enabled midi clock to be sent to the Virus in SX3, it tightened up those messy delays. Note timing sounded OK.
2) Even so, there was occasional bad Dopplering - indicative of a sloppy midi clock signal.
3) Tried it in Logic - no Doppler effect at all..
I also tried my own simple midi stack test in both hosts, with a phase initialled single oscillator patch on 8 simultaneous tracks:
With no CC at all, the effect was a messy, phasey smudge. Zephod's explanation covers this - i.e. midi cannot play two notes at exactly the same time.
Adding CC to each track made little difference, if any in either host. I would not expect any hardware synth to behave differently in this test.
