This idea appears in John Bowen’s Solaris synth as the “rotors”. That’s a 
digital synth, so there’s no hardware crossfader, just 96KHz processing.

There’s a sound example too:

David –

In your video of your scanner you seem to be scanning at a sub-audio rate 
exclusively (?).  Thus your output is a sequence of notes (short tunes) with 
each pitched note having several-to-many cycles.

Have you tried scanning at an audio rate?  Specifically, what if each 
channel was a different waveform from the same VCO and   the scan rate were 
at an audio rate (perhaps 8 times higher than the VCO PLUS, say, 1 Hz)? 
Each VCO waveform would be visited slightly faster than once per cycle in an 
evolving manner.  Wouldn’t this produce an “animated” output perhaps similar 
to my “Tone Wheel Animator”?
