Not meaning to rain on anyone's parade, but syncing the frequency of an LFO to MIDI clocks is probably only about half of the battle you're trying to fight. The other half is syncing the phase of the LFO to measures. If you don't have phase sync also, the LFO's phase will vary with respect to the rest of the music every time you start/restart your sequencer. Whether or not this is an issue depends on your needs, of course, but typically people want phase sync when they want "tempo-synced LFOs." So part of this hypothetical LFO would have to include parsing the other MIDI real-time commands (in addition to clock) and acting accordingly. Then, of course, you have to decide whether you always want your various wave shapes to have the same phase relationship to the beginnings of measures, and if not, how to control this relationship. --Adam (author of several plug-ins with tempo-synced LFOs)
