Thanks Peter, for clarifying this! So, if I understand it right, then the model 30 is much further from the DX7 than I would have thought. The whole point of the DX7 is to dynamically alter the FM indexes which, if I have it right, is not possible on the model 30 (since the VCA's

Maybe this would only work if the FM inputs were linear? Or am I wrong about this? Another idea: maybe if you modulate the *level* of the slow oscillator with an external signal, would this not bring that signal into the model 30? If the level input is linear (is it?) then I'd gu
