I think I'm getting it now. 

If I were to use a .com oscillator to modulate the a Modcon osc, I'd need to turn the signal 
down or get an extreme or high amount of modulation. 

If I were to use a Modcan osc to modulate a .com osc the amount would be weaker or less 
extreme. 

If I were to the output of a Modcan filter into a .com VCA would the output signal also be 
half the volume? Seems logical, but I thought I should ask. 

I guess my question would be, is there a way to boost the Modcan signal? 

Chaotic modulation is what I'm hoping for...  :D

Again, thanks for the help. I do appreciate it.
