Can't think of any problems about getting the V/Hz into the P6.
There's an expo converter shared for all voices, then a demux
circuit, and after this demux should be the right place to get
the external CV in. Should even work without readjusting
anything - an octave is always an octave in V/Hz.
BUT you must keep in mind, that you can *not* simply add internal
and external CV's (like with V/Oct), so you need a 6p2t switch,
or normalized jacks. AND - this may or may not be important - footage
selection in the P6 is not made via the CV, but with separate
control signals. The second thing should be no real problem,
but you don't exactly have any advantage over the "Kenton method"
(i.e. controlling the keyboard matrix) either. There's good reason
why the CV is limited to a few octaves ...
