I'm totally the other way around. My standard schtick is to set the LFO a
little ahead or behind of a beat division so that you can retrigger the
"swing".  It sounds really sweet when you start doodling with delay
alongside this.  Sweeping, long, asynchronous LFOs are nice, but anything I
don't have control over I find myself making less use of.
