If I remember correctly, you can get some (roughly) hard-sync style
effects using your timegen osc, or more generally any of the slope /
transient generator variants. Use the trigger switch to make the
right half self trigger (oscillate). Now patch the gate out of the
left half into the trig in of the right half. I think you should now
have the right oscillator re-triggered by the left oscillator. Mess
with frequency offsets. Instant razorblade cocktail. Just don't cut
yourself.
