no, not single. an active subcircuit made out of multiple active and
passive components is fine too.

piece of silicon or multiple pieces of it.

LDRs are fine. but maybe not the greatest due to slew rate. i'd rathe
that a "C-" as opposed to something that can do audio-rate modulation.

servo pot is not fine. nothing electromechanical is good here.

solid state only and passives. or, if the circuit is originally tube
or magamp or electret based, then magamps and tubes and electrets are
fine too. but honestly i'd like to stay away from such topics here and
only focus on circuits that are solid state in the first place and
we're looking at whether or not they can be modified for CV control.
