No. No analogue LFO in the world can do that (at least not at a 
reasonable effort)

I could be wrong, but I believe there are two ways to sync an LFO to a tempo:

One is to use the "tap to tempo" method, where you time the interval between the last two pulses/triggers, and extrapolate from that that the next one should be the same time.  This would involve a fair amount of electronics and/or firmware code.

The other would involve merely syncing an oscillator with the tempo (presumably resetting it with a "start the downbeat now" reset trigger when the music starts playing), and slewing the output with a resistor and cap.  You'd need to slew it because with, say, 24 PPQN, it would only update its position 6 times per 16th note and therefore have very audible stepping.

Neither of these, to my knowledge, would be a simple mod for any existing LFO.

I vaguely remember hinting at another way that I've since forgotten, so let's hope I left myself some notes in one of my repositories...

The short answer to your question: no, not really.

Incidentally, this is probably a fine time to mention that the MCV-24 is wonderful and can output multiple tempo-synced software LFOs.  I've never felt the need for a hardware LFO for this reason, the MCV-24's great! :D I can't recommend this unit enough.

Yes but you try getting one!!!!

That's one of the reasons I subscribed to this mailing list, not to mention had a saved eBay search.  It took me a few months or so, maybe a year, I forget... and I think I paid around about the original brand-new price too, I forget... but it was totally worth it.

Buying rare things on eBay has taught me patience. :)

It also helps if your partner is totally awesome and knows how to replace the battery, which requires a little soldering. :)

I'll show this my girlfriend the next time, when she complains...

:-)))))))))

It's one of the few things I don't understand about my partner... she makes electronic music, yet never wants to use my modular... and yet, she looks forward to building and repairing modules I get, and we even design and build some together.  I guess she's just that lovely.

Sorry, that's enough public gushing over her for now.  Suffice it to say she's a keeper.

We should all be so lucky!

I hate this! Now i have a voice singing in my brain all the time: "We 
should be so lucky ... lucky, lucky, lucky"

  :)

Oof!  Sorry about that.  Would you prefer some Eurovision winner as an alternative?   Just kidding, I don't know any off-hand.  Luck for you... (Lucky lucky lucky)

agreed! i think it's awesome you found someone to connect with that amazingly well.
and hey, at least you lot *have* partners! my girlfriends have been very few and extremely far between (the last one was over 9 years ago) and i'm currently doing the "middle-aged deranged loner" thing, living like an antisocial recluse in the house with the cat and a *lot* of synths (to be fair, the last decade i was taking care of my folks, who both passed in 2010, so a lot of my isolation has been a necessary emotional decompression).


and now enough of sharing my own personal nonsense! :-) back to relevant discussion of gear!! (which btw i just got another Doepfer case, one of the monster bases, and filled it with some interesting mods, so there may be some more abstract mayhem on the way soon.)
