I managed to do it with the Expert sleepers vst LFO which I already own… using a send to a sidechain input which appears on the Audio Interface module in channels 3 and 4. tempo synced and everything, Starts immediately ! had to fiddle around with its settings as it can do more then +5-5 which is what ZZC clock likes.
might post a video to show it off . no midi wonkiness , my sanity is saved.
