Same trick means lin detune ? Yes, sure, that works. But the additional
current
will be *tiny*. Just using a large resistor is not - you'd end in the Giga
range.
So you'd really need an extra expo current source.

I don't know if it's good enough for transposed CCOs either (I expect so),
but
I've been using this trick for variable slope filters for years. (An old EN
article suggests
extra expo converters, but a single shared one with one transistor for each
partial filter current works nicely).
