I'm working on a Mod-III patch (to be the base patch for the January contest) which uses four LFOs synced to MIDI clock tempo.

The problem is that I want the LFOs to run at about one-eighth (or less) of the BPM speed. I'm currently using freqMult modules and manually typing in 0.25 as the fixed factor since they don't usually go below 0.5.

Is there a better way ?

OK, silly me, instead of putting a freqMult in front of each LFO, I've just put one between the clock and the frequency divider.

I'm a bit dubious about how accurate the timing will be stepping down like this, but we'll see...

Maybe if you are nervous about stepping or sync, you could try modulation samples. You can trigger them w MIDI or send them from the sequencer via ASIO. It solves LFO-to-sequencer phase off-sets too :wink:
