You should add: the result are mostly bell like sounds.
There is already something similar: the crossmodulation in the effects
section. But while VCO->VCO crossmodulation cannot be played tonally,
the VCO->VCF modulation can be played tonally.
This is something very recommendable!

pay attention! This disables the function of the loudness envelope. if
you want to play AM controlled by note on note off, you would need a
separate VCA before the envelope controolled VCA!

This is superfluous: Xmod in the effects section is the same.
