I was considering a similar design of a DCO where the VCO core is only
fm-synced (so, the 'soft syncing via fm' scheme I described above).
This should let you do stuff like shaper-based sinusoid oscillators
and other cool sounds because the point at which the discontinuity
happens in the oscillator core is still controlled by the good old
analog circuitry.
