It's certainly true that you can patch a VCA into FM in. I mentioned  
that in my original message.

A complex vco like the A-111-2 is all about integration. By your  
logic, why have an integrated filter or waveshaper? Wouldn't a  
separate filter [waveshaper] be more flexible?

All I was saying was that for a large class of FM sounds, dynamic  
depth is important, and that, at least for me, having this VCA  
integrated into the oscillator would be a good thing.
