Possibly goofy idea...

A couple more similar Buchla/Serge touch keyboard projects
were published.  

One was in Synapse - I think it was written by Arpad Benares,
who was allegedly really Serge Tcherepnin.  It's out there on a
website somewhere, but I can't remember the URL.

There was also one in the Terrence Thomas DIY synth book
from a few years age - again I can't remember the name.  
Both were touch keyboard/programmer type things.  If you 
need them, reply to me as I might have them on my hard disk.

It probably wouldn't take much more to make it work as a 
sequencer too - the pots and panel are the hard work part
of a sequencer.

I think Tomita did something similar to what you're trying to
achieve.  I don't know if he was manually controlling the VCF
frequency, or clocking a sequencer or S&H from the keyboard
trigger, but it gave a voice-like effect.
