If you're going with an 8051 based unit, the midi2cv8 code at
www.paia.com/md2cv820.zip can serve as a example of one way to do it. Even
though the midi2cv8 can do MIDI sync and provide Pitch, Velocity and Gate
for a couple of synths at the same time, it's pretty easy to strip out just
the sync part. The corresponding schematic is at www.paia.com/midi2sch.gif .
