Maybe there WOULD be, if these were commonly available?

Mark,

This thing is simplest thing ever to expand Your synthesis
possibilities. With a simple dual inverting opamp buffer, it provides
anything between the original signal and the inverted signal with true
null in the middle. You maybe lose half the scale pot gives (if You
use dedicated inverter ect.).

I'm about to pull parts from an old Fostex mixer EQ section, just
because these pots are hard to find. It's only for an envelope
generator and pots are in voltage divider configuration, so it's "all
the same" (over 10kO) what those are as long as they are linear.

Scott, a word of warning. Tom from SDIY has been in Group Purchase for
50K Alpha CT pots and seems to have few still left, so many people
there might have their needs fulfilled already.
