Nord Modular syncing LFO to Midi

I've got an account over at the electromusic forums, but their G1 subforums is nearly dead, so I'd figured I would ask here. I have tried looking in the manual for this information and I've also checked out the archived threads on the nord modular forums at electromusic. Anyway, I understand how to sync a sequencer to midi using the midi global in module and a clock divider, however doing something similar with an LFO, using either the "master in" or the "LFO rate modulation in" results in the LFO oscillating at very high and unusable rate. Is it even possible to syn LFO's to midi clock with the Nord Modular?

you can't sync an lfo directly to midi. but you can reset it with midi and a pulse divider and tweak it from there. with the reset you can somewhat reset it in sync. but it's not perfect.

what i'm usualy doing is using a step sequencer and a "smooth1" module to get something like an lfo synced to midi.

Thanks, I can't imagine why the h**l Clavia left this feature out, especially considering the internal sequencers can be synced.
