There are surely a couple of ways to handle this. Basically, you want
a clipper. One way is to increase (double?) the gain on the input CV
so it reaches full output for each channel when it's only halfway to
maximum, making the CV input buffers clip.

Or, is it better to use Zeners as CV clippers?

P.S. To Jay S.: My SSM2024 datasheet has only 4 pages! But I see the
circuit you're referring to. Aren't those trannies are for making an
expo converter? Expo response isn't a bad idea, but that's not really
JC's problem, here.
