This is the correct list.  The discussion ranges all over the map.  
There are a lot of creative minds here, and they tend to wander..

I am fairly new to the list and MOTM as well.  I am still waiting for 
my first LFO to show up, but if it is like the other modules of the 
MOTM series that I have had the joy of building, it will be pretty 
awesome.

That being said, I think you need to be clear on what you want. The 
320 (and folks, correct me if I am wrong here) can sync to a clock.. 
But that is in terms of analog sync. Or in other words, the waveform 
will restart on the clock pulse, but that does not mean that the clock 
will drive the frequency of the waveform output by it.  If you are 
seeking to tempo lock your LFO's, say to be 2 measures of whatever 
tempo you are outputting a 24 ppq sync for, the 320 won't do it.  If 
you want a great rock solid LFO with a lot of neat flexibility that 
will restart the wave on a pulse, you have the right item.

Now I could be wrong and there might be some way to tempo lock them, 
but my brain can't get around it.  Of course the tempo locked LFO 
coming out of a Kenton CV box is great at doing that, so that would be 
a great addition to a 320, and could be used via the multiple to 
modulate the output for some really nice LFO effects.

Hope that made sense...
