You could do hard sync by using a sequencer as the waveform generator. Feed
PCO #1 into the sequencer clock at a multiple of the desired frequency, 5 x
for a 5 step sequence, for instance. Use PCO #2 to reset the sequencer.
Output of the sequencer row is your synced waveform. This is limited to
pulse step type waveforms, however, while sawtooths tend to be more
interesting as hard sync swept waveforms.

You may have to invert the PCO sawtooth for it to trigger/reset the
sequencer properly, use a comparator/Schmitt trigger, or use the variable
pulse out of NTOs.

These are a lot of modules to tie up for one effect.
