Say the last sync came 20 ms ago. We guess that the next will be
something like the same but and devide the next 20 ms seconds in 4
periods of 5 ms each. Three things can now happen:
a) The next pulse comes very early, perhaps after 10 ms? Dump out on the
interface whatever was supposed to play in the later, in the last
periods.
b) The next pulse comes very late, perhaps after 30ms? In that case we
have have already played everything. There will be slight gap which will
go unnoticed given the dramatic change of tempo.
c) The next sync comes approximately as expected, perhaps after 19 or
21ms? Well, then there is no problem at all :-D

No!

Yes we can! (Hey, Roland already figured this out back in -85 or so)

This is soo 1982 ...

20BPM is a resolution of 125 ms?? I am now convinced you do not not
record yourself playing keyboard.
