hello chris,

i don't see a problem here. you can just add a vca of your
choice to the patch to get dynamic fm.
imho separate vca's give the best flexibility, as you can use
them for other purposes too, if you don't use dynamic fm
in your actual patch. however, the built-in vca on the a111/2
is only there because it is present on the cem-chip anyway,
but due to the architecture of the cem-chip it cannot be used
at the lin fm input of the same a111/2, only at its final output.

best wishes
