That's true, if the sequence row out is fed to a DSG tracking 1 volt/octave
you could get very close the sawtooth sync.
I would use a PCO/NTO for the reset pulse. That's where you want the
frequency accuracy. You can use a DSG/DTG for the clock input, but as it
must be a multiple of the step number this will only work for lower notes
due to the DSG/DTG frequency limit around 2 KHz.
