    Yes it is.  In the Nov/.Dec 1980 issue of Polyphony there is a circuit
that uses a single CA3280, but an LM13700 could be used instead.  Another
reference, if you don't have that one is page 80 in the Analog Devices
Non-linear circuits handbook (which is where the first circuit I mentioned
was derived).  If you don't have either, I can xerox off a copy and send
them to you.
