This is pretty amazing. And inspiring. Makes me wonder about the meaning 
of life.
I would love to see the inside video, showing all the boards and wiring. 
It might be easier then to guess who that is.
This person is probably on this list giggling now quietly.

As for DACs, this is always designer's choice and I will not argue about 
that whatever was used. My personal view is that is comes much cheaper 
in the long run to use good speced part with true linearity than using 
various tricks to make $1 DAC with 64 LSB INL work in semi decent way.

Do all CVs need good linearity? Sure they don't but since you have 
already good DAC and S&H MUX to make pitch CVs, then why not use it also 
for all other stuff, including LCD backlight dimmer?
