Nyquist criteria assumes good (read: high order) anti-alias filter after 
the hold. You won't have that in any reasonable multiplexed CV system 
because of the huge parts count. 4x oversampling with RC lag filter will 
of course help, but since we're dealing with audio rate modulation, you 
will still get unwanted sidebands due to inadequate bandlimiting.
