Re: Utility LFO External clock

>What kind of FET would you suggest for this mod?

Same as in the VCO 2N4091 or similar

>Do you mean it would only work if the Clock speed is faster than the
overall LFO speed or it's adjusted speed?

Faster than its current adjusted speed. Sync works by shortening a cycle. It
will still have an effect if the LFO speed is faster than the clock, but the
result would be muliple output cycles per sync pulse, with only the last one
shortened.
You may get some odd results too, with this being a triangle core. Adjusting
it for a sawtooth output may help.
