There's at least one synth that uses 4066 switches (which aren't very
high performance switches) in the VCO core: the Octave Cat SRM. It's
also interesting in that it uses a CD4093 Schmidt-nand instead of a
comparator. If anyone is interested and can't find the schematic I can
post the schematic page.
