If you haven't already got a MIDI-CV converter, can I recommend the
Kenton Pro-2000? That provides a couple of (digital) LFOs internally,
the amplitude of which can be controlled by MIDI controllers or
aftertouch or whatever. The LFO output can then be added internally
to the CV output (together with pitch wheel info), so that you don't
need a mixer/LFO/whatever else...

Obviously the MOTM modules can handle everything you could want, but I
find myself using the Kenton internal stuff by default for pitch bend
and vibrato. It's cheap and it leaves my modules free for handling
the more outrageous stuff.

(It does a reasonable portmento too, though there I prefer to use the
MOTM for it because of the CV'able up/down times).
