The EXT input is one of the selectable "waveforms" for the Sub
OSC/LFO. If you stick an audio signal in there, select EXT for the
Sub OSC and send the Sub OSC to the VCO (all the time, or via
aftertouch), you'll have some FM. I guess you could loop the
general/mono audio out back into EXT and get some weird modulations.
I'll have to try this later. I don't know if the voltage levels are
high enough.

Anyone else try this?
