I tried something similar today but apparently didn't use the right waveforms 
because I wasn't getting anything useful on my o-scope.  Or maybe I was using 
FM1.

But in a similar vein I believe that the linear MOTM VCA can be made 
exponential when controlled with an envelope.  For instance I noticed the EG 
decay sounds linear to the ear when controlling the VCA, even though it 
appears curved visually.  That's the way the human ear works.  But a fast 
initial test seems to indicate that if I control two VCAs from an envelope 
and run the output from the first VCA into the second, I now get an 
exponential sounding decay.  Curvey response from the 1st VCA controlled by 
curvey EG on 2nd VCA = extra curvey output or exponential VCA type response.
