Again: my comments are written inline.

The serial resistor for the linear FM input is 100k (R11 leading from the
VCO lin FM input to the summing node for the linear FM). If you add e.g.
another 100k resistor the sensitivity is half as much as before.

You may even increase the value of the slew capacitor which is only 220nF
(C21 on the top right edge of the pcb). You may solder e.g. a electrolytic
capacitor (1u...10u) in parallel to C21 to increase the max. slew time. The
right pin of C21 is GND (i.e. the minus pole for an electrolytic capacitor)

Yes, we are working on a VC slope generator too (even as an A-100 module).
Maybe we could add it to the expansion board.
