I like!

Version #3

Programmable tuning tables - up to 64 steps per octave for microtuning and
gamelon scales (of course, you'd need to use an alternate controller since a
keyboard's output is too coarse).

OR, you could use say only 5 steps and program in a pentatonic scale, so
that random large voltage swings IN = nice melodic scales OUT.

Would be more expensive than the other two proposals cause you'd need a
couple of buttons and a pot or encoder to program it.
