Set the pith modulation amount in the oscillators to maximum, set double the interval in the sequencer:
minor third = 3 semitones... +6
major third = 4 semitones... +8
fifth = 7 semitones... +14
etc.
minor third = 3 semitones... +6

This post is ancient, but never really got satisfactorily answered. So for the benefit of people in the future...
To quantize the sequencer's output to recognizable tempered pitches, you need this routing: Seq Out > Quantizer > Osc Freq Mod. The key is the quantizer, and proper pitch quantization is all about the relationship between how you set the quantizer and the Osc Freq Mod depth.
For example, set the Osc Freq Mod resolution to 50 semitones and the depth to 12. Since the Osc Freq Mod's max depth is 50, this setup will mean that the seq's maximum output will raise the osc's pitch by 12 semitones. From there, send the seq to the quantizer's input and the quantizer's output to Osc Freq Mod, and set the quantizer to 12. This last step will divide the seq's output into 12 values, meaning that if the Osc Freq Mod depth is set to 12, each value will equal one semitone. The steps of your sequencer will therefore be quantized to the chromatic scale (NB: Quantization to diatonic scales is not possible).
If instead you'd prefer to have two octaves for your seq to play with rather than just one, or any other number of semitones, the technique is still the same. Just remember to set the quantizer and Osc Freq Mod depth to equal the number of semitones you want to quantize to.
