Indeed, thinking about Harry's response a bit more, it seems to me that you
would only need the capability for velocity, aftertouch, etc from a
keyboard.  It would be far better to build a precision CV mixer into the
keyboard circuit (or do it all in MIDI before converting to CV) that could
simply plug into a single 1V/oct VCO input, because in the majority of cases
you simply are not going to need more than two expo CV inputs into a VCO.

Of course, then again, ICBSC (I could be smoking crack).
