Yes, the trick is really to replace the sawtooths reset with the PWMs reset.
What happends is that when summing them there will be a CV-dependent offset of
the waveform, but it is compensated in my design, so it should be DC stable
but naturally there is always a little leakage.

If you have the inversed PW you get the frequency doubler design, since you
insert a new reset placement, basically subtracting of the top half of the
sawtooth. The phase-shift design came as an aftertought of the frequency
doubler design.

Both these designs is fairly easy to understand if one draws the waveforms,
make notes about voltages and is able to sum properly. Simulation is trivial
actually. If your simulation tool fails, toss it since by brain obviously beats
it. Not a good benchmark, but anyways...

Cheers,
Magnus
