Paul,

    Awesome!  I am sure that many are looking forward to your design.  Are
you considering making up a PC board for your design and selling it.

    I see a lot of possibilities of a digital approach for LFVCOs. For
them, the exponential thing is not so important and time problems are not
important.  For an LFO a microcomputer seems to make sense.  Modulating
signals can be conconted from recipes of sawtooths, triangles, square
waves to produce really interesting modulations.  A fast processor like
the 68HC12 could not only implement one or more LFO's, but a a few ASDR's,
control selecting and weighting of tone sources etc.

    Again, I am looking forward to seeing your design, and I think that
more than a few may have an interest in building one.
