superb!

interesting quesion, but I doubt it, for a couple of reasons, the main one
being that you'll probably find that not only is the Keyvoltage applied to
the CV in of the CEMs, but also the LFO depth.
Also, if you only want a monophonic output, you'll have to be sure to leave
it in stack mode (or mono mode) when you use it.

if only for convenience, a Midi to CV convertor (polydac/mididac for
example) would be a lot less hassle, and a lot less risk to your new toy.
