This subject has popped up before, I think CPLD parts (perhaps 2) were used, maybe a fast PIC
could do it.  Certainly an FPGA could do it.  A digital T.O.G. will have lots of flipflops.  

Try to Google "____ top octave generator"  where the blank is things like PIC, CPLD, AVR,
microprocessor, etc.
