Well, sines were what I actually wanted ...
It *is* possible to build a state variable quadrature VCO. As in all
sine wave oscillators, You will need an amplitude regulation,
however. This will either cause a tradeoff between distortion and
reaction time (think of an LFO with 10 seconds period, Your
amplitude regulation would have time constants in the *minutes*
region!), or would need such efforts as true-rms-measurement.
(If You are squaring sine and cosine, and make the sum of it,
You'll have the amplitude information without ripple!).
All in all, going for triangles and converting them to sines seemed
much easier to me, granted that I can use the two OTA's used
for sine-shaping as VCA's as well.
