Instead, find the CV out of the ancient keyboard and use a MIDI-to-CV converter from your MIDI keyboard to the old sound generation modules. If full velocity support is there, then there should be a CV for pitch and a CV for velocity. Any decent MIDI-to-CV converter should be able to handle that.

There is no CV.  Its all scanned digital thats why I think I'm stuck
emulating this at the bus layer.  Well, unless I can find 35+ year old
source code... ( *insert lots of laughter here* ).

Having had a month to ponder this, it won't be very difficult actually.  I
just haven't had time to write any code to try it.
