While I was working with my Yamaha DX-7 synth (based on FM synthesis) a couple of years ago I got some insight into this kind of synth sound programming.
Is this sequencing you mentioned based on playing a batch of FM sounds within a loop, sort of stepping through 32/64 bars of FM sequence commandos (Notator-/Soundtracker-style) which trigger the sounds, or do you mean real-time sequencing, where sounds are created on-the-fly and then sequenced/split across the available sound channels?
I also worked with SIDmon (basically an asm-based sound sequencer) on various 8-bit computers, perhaps there are some similarities between this technique and the Neo's FM synthesis.
