This is clearly something that should be solved with a microcontroller or
FPGA or something similar, rather than in the all-analog domain. Take a look
at the Scala home page, consider the number of scales in its library and the
complexity of the systems it offers for creating scales, and you'll see that
five or so knobs is not nearly enough--unless perhaps you mean five or so
knobs used as user-interface devices in conjunction with an LCD.
Even the quantizer in the ARP Sequencer isn't really "all-analog". It uses a
digital counter chip.
