it seems that the DCOs exist virtually in IC3. if that's the case, they
wouldn't respond well to any modulation in the audio range.
my ∗guess∗ is that it would be unusable noise.

DCO implemented in old hardware: pitch bend and vibrato are slow enough
for the DCOs to track... i have my doubts about FM in the audio range.

or just use the moog slayer mod... you can use a joystick instead of 2
knobs, if you prefer ;)
seriously, you can find 2 axis joysticks in electronic surplus catalogs,
although you'll probably want to change the pots from linear to log taper.
