What he said.  _Exactly_ what he said.  Unless I'm not understanding
something right (not unlikely), an external mixer is required to apply
pitch CV (not FM) to the 300 VCO.  Almost every review of a modular system
I've read (Serge, Fenix, Doepfer, old Rolands) says somewhere "I always
need _one_more_ CV mixer!"  (Not Modcan, significantly, because of the
disgusting number of attenuated CV inputs on those modules -- but Modcan
doesn't have all the Rico Suave Features of MOTM, either.)

So, it's boring, but lots and lots of 3 input linear mixers would be a
Good Thing in my book.
