well, consider a wavetable synth (any kind, incl. toys.r.us) followed by a 
phase locked loop... these are pretty gnarly with 'real world' inputs..
(or just a freq to v convertor, followed by a Hz/v oscillator, the MS20
external input or the old Korg guitar synth box with the LED rocker switches
will give you an idea)..

If you find any refs please post..
