If I understand everything this should be possible with an A-155:

LFO pulse out -> step in A-155
gate out #4 of A-155 -> reset of A-155 (limits the length to 3 steps)

The trigger rows (steps 1-3) are used to define which of the LFO pulses are
skipped or passed on.

Instead of the LFO you could use the gate output of an external input module
A-119 that generates the "peaks" of an audio signal.
