I guess it's a metric-British imperial sort of question.

The 100 mV per semitone does feel more metric, let's call that a buchla.

Hmmm, 1 moog = 1 volt/oct
       1/12 moog = 1 volt/semitone
       1 buchla = 100 mv/semitones = 1/10 volt/semitone
       10 buchlas = 1 volt/semitone

so 1 moog = 120 buchlas = 0.12 kilobuchlas, or equivalently
    1 buchla =

      (wait for it....)

        8.3 minimoogs!
