Yes, the 700 is switching the output of the 440 between left and right.

One LFO is set to about .5 hz. It is sweeping one VCO that is hard synched
to another. That does the sort of phasy sweep. This slow LFO is also
the B input to the 120, the other being the third VCO tuned an octave lower
than the one doing the hard sync. This gives some play on the bottom end
(mode set to cross).

The other LFO is set a faster speed and controls (sin out) the 700
flipping
between left and right. It also controls (tri out) the speed of the
sample
hold which is fed to the FM input of the 440. Fiddling with the switching
point of the 700 and shape of the 320 gets various syncopation effects.

Three is very, very good. Of course, I'm sure four would be even better.
