voyager OS, vx- 351,idea of a mod for the unsed outs

Hey all!
hope everybody is doing great. i recently got my voyager old school back (well its in for a service) and have picked up a vx351 (along with an fooger freqbox, ring mood and 104z delay)

i have been dreaming up ideas of stuff to do ever since and while i love modulating absolutely everything, i believe using the same lfo busted out to the mult and into everything else can sound really really cool.. i would love to have a clock divider in the vx351 so that there would be a level on synchronisity with the square wave lfo.
does anyone know anything about the vx 351?? like could you fit a little clock divider circuit in there?? i imagine the circuit itselft would be a pretty simple and small enough board, that would probably need 5v power or maybe the little board could have a regulator...basically i dont know
i was just wondering anyway if anybody has thought the same or has implemented anything like this... i think its a shame to have the wasted outputs on the 351 when in connection with the voyager OS.

(i do also realise that there is an lfo in the mf102 that i could use, but i really like the idea of a clock divider - in my head i have the divide down lfo controlling the volume and the normal rate controlling the filter, it would be pretty cool, all synced!)

cheers

Hi Conor, while I haven't opened mine up, they are pretty deep boxes. You don't need much space to make the circuit you're thinking of. I would say you have plenty of room. Not being familiar with the old school model, apart from the four touch pad outputs, what else is free to use? One note: the Voyager may ground those outputs, and the adapter that gets installed in the Voyager further may also present problems; you'll most likely have to cut the traces associated with those pins from the Voyager connector before you assign your own outputs to them. Good luck!

I don't have the old school, but I do have a Koma Elektronik RH301 which is capable of converting analog pulse signals to MIDI clock and vice versa. I have used the LFO on the CP-251 as a clock and it works fine when sending it via MIDI.
However, I don't know the exact limitations of the old school, what patches do you suggest?
