that is, probably, because your vco's do not have linear fm, am i right
for fm-type sounds (fm'ed sounds that retain their fundamental pitch, you need linear fm and not exponential fm).
after that, of course you have to attenuate the fm amount (fm index), otherwise you'll get too many extra, upper and lower, sinewaves (harmonics).

and no need to say that you have to strat with rather 'pure' sounds (sinewaves or triangles).
