I have a Kenton Pro 4 which does produce LFO's synced to MIDI clock. However, it cannot divide the clock down far enough to be all that useful, imho. What I want is to be able to sync LFO's that cycle over several bars. My Garfield Dr. Click can produce an LFO synced to a number of clock sources (it doesn't have MIDI), but it doesn't work very well with slow waveforms. Most MIDI software sequencers, as well as one of the Lexicon boxes (the MPX1, as far as I can remember) can produce synced MIDI LFO's that can be run through a MIDI to CV converter. However, streaming so much data at once can effect the timing of other events. An MOTM-820 can be used to generate LFO's from a clock pulse, but it has to be re-adjusted very carefully whenever the tempo changes. While I do not think there is a way to design it using analogue, I would love to see a digital module with an "analogue interface" that could convert a clock pulse into an LFO. It could have several outputs for different waveforms, a number of different clock divisions, and a shape control similar to the MOTM-320. Afaik, no module manufacturer offers such a useful product.
