I agree with Didrik. I can't see any reason why some pot wouldn't be amenable to voltage-control *somehow*. After all, you can always replace your pot with a servo-controlled pot and you're there. So in that sense none of them can be "impossible". Or is an electromechanical solution cheating?!?

It's not whether you *can*, it's whether it's *worth it*.

Feedback can make things more sensitive (positive feedback) so that would make purely electrical solutions more finickety, but it doesn't make it impossible, just more time consuming and/or expensive.
