I'd like to see such a circuit. The MS-20 has linear CV for the
VCO and exponential CV for the VCF, making proper keyboard
tracking impossible.

Let's see... The Korg MS-02 interface contains a log function.

It doesn't appear to be temperature-compensated. That may work OK
to control a VCF but not to control a VCO.
