I think the Buchla 100 series actually had some wild module that did that.

Ah - Buchla 148 harmonic generator. Wouldn't it be fun to see thee 
schematics on that???

Model 148 Harmonic Generator

Generates a fundamental and its first nine harmonics (harmonic numbers 1 - 
10). Fundamental frequency is continuously variable from 5 cps to 5 kc and 
may be controlled internally or with an externally applied voltage. There 
is provision for wide- band frequency modulation. The 148 is frequently 
used in conjunction with mixers (106, 107), gates (110), and attack 
generators (180) to enable precise programmed envelope control of 
individual overtones.
