I think you have to do it manually

well i can have the patch LFO sync to midi and the voyager does recieve MIDI Beat clock information correct? Do i need to setup logic and or Dp to send midi beat clock to the voyager?

The LFO of the Voyager is anlog. And because of this, it does not sync its rate to midi clock. But it resets its waveshape on midi clock. This is the same function as the syncing of two oscillators.
Its just a problem, that these two things use the very same word for something completely different.
So no way to automatic sync the LFO rate to midi clock.

is there anyway to tap tempo the rate in ie. like the murf?

Nope, can't tap tempo an analog LFO either. You can tap tempo a digital LFO, not an analog LFO.

Sure, you can approximate sync.
Here is how:
Set up Logic to route MIDI clock to Moog.
On the Moog set the clock-divider to the appropriate value (1/4, Dotted 1/4 etc etc)
Then, using MusicMath (or any equivalent calculator), find the HZ value for the appropriate rhythm using the 'delay time' portion of the calculator.
Then, on the Moog, set the LFO rate to be that HZ value according to the rough guide on the knob display until you dial it in just right. When it's set right you shouldn't hear the Lfo reset happening very much if at all.

In Logic Pro 7, File > Song Settings > Synchronization. Click the MIDI tab and check "Transmit MIDI Clock." Select the MIDI out that's connected to the Voyager.
