If Tom is open for discussion on his VCO.. then perhaps there would be a way to change the code so instead of it using CV's, it would use a digital input instead?
Just a thought.. I found his tone generator pretty nice in that you can create your own waves by modifying his code.
And you just can't beat the price of those little PICs.. just sayin' ;)
