ah ok, I didn't realize noise was just a separate
sound source being mixed with VCO1/2. So yea,
adding VCO2 -> VCO1 sync would not have the
results I'm looking for without the modifications
you mentioned.

There is no direct link between the noise generator and VCO2. In order to use the white noise as a sync input, a few modifications are necessaries on each voices. But the OS had to be modified too.
