2.30 modulating oscillators with noise:

The external input, or noise, can modulate oscillators the following way:
Modulation destination NZEXT -> PWIDTH: Have the noise / external path modulate the
pulse width of the oscillator.
Modulation destination NZEXT -> Lin FM: Have the noise / external path modulate the
linear FM of the oscillator.
Modulation destination NZEXT -> Exp FM: Have the noise / external path modulate the
exponential FM of the oscillator.
By hitting soft button 5, you can even come to a page where noise is modulated without
having to use a mod! You can modulate: Linear FM (one osc), Exponential FM (both
oscillators), and PWM (both oscillators) with noise.

2.31 pwmod, fmmod page:

There is also a separate PWMOD (soft button 6) and FMMOD (soft button 7 on oscillator 1
only) on each modulation page. This is independent of the three modulations so don' t use
them for this at first! You can also access this by clicking on the " PWM" button for each
oscillator, and the " Osc 2 FM Mod" button.
2.32 keep in mind – osc frequency limit and filter keytracking limit:
Colin noted this one. Just note that with VERY low patches the cutoff will...
that in mind that you can' t go as deep as on some synths...
The lowest you can get with the oscillators is around 22Hz. Use LFOs for deeper
modulations.
Also, with any negative filter keytracking (-50 or higher), there is a bug that will prevent
lower octaves from tracking down any further.
2.33 keep in mind – pitch wheel
There is a hardwired mod by pressing the PITCH ASSIGN key. You don' t need a
modulation for this feature!
2.34 keep in mind – osc fm (tuning and using)
Keep in mind that the oscillator FM' s VCA cannot be tuned. Results tend to be unpredictable
unfortunately, unless used minimally or used on a single voice (or for FX).
Note that both waveforms must be enabled on the oscillator to perform FM!
2.35 keep in mind – portamento modulation
Although the pot allows times of only up to 30 seconds, the seconds can be modulated to go
up to 130 seconds.
2.36 keep in mind – ring modulation
At least one waveform must be enabled.
cut off. Keep
but you can still get very deep.
