Yes, except that the clock speed is exponential relative to the control
voltage.  In principle, any sequencer can be used as a waveform synthesizer
if you run the clock fast enough, but I doubt any of them would track at
1V/octave.

Did he, really, Kyle?  I can't speak for anyone else, but if I were
interested in expensive, flashy modules designed with the busy musical
professional in mind, I probably wouldn't be in my garage sucking solder
fumes every other night!  The whole point of this enterprise for me is the
joy I derive from building it myself and all that goes with it (learning,
sharing, discovering).  If I can't build it myself, then I'm simply not
interested in it.  Of course, thankfully for Paul's bottom line, we're all
different!
