Sorry, still not sure what you mean here...

Very very far from how signals are in a op-amp & VCA based synth, and also very hard to understand in terms of replication.

Modern voltage controlled synth modules have non-linearities too, so
what? That doesn't make them non-voltage-controllable. Have I
misunderstood what you mean?
