As far as I understand Scott's project: sure!
I'm using the original R2M hardware at the moment and I also have hope
that the "glitch-problem" will be ironed out with the more reliable
analouge path Scott's circuit provides. ∗)
I'm not a big fan of Doepfer hardware but unfortunately a Ribbon
Controller is not a widespread gadget :-(

HTH, Michael.

∗) My R2M's CV is not smooth. I can't see exactly what it is, I just
can hear it. A simple LP-Filter in the CV path eases this problem. I
got two examples I made to show:
First the VCF's frequency modulated by an LFO (4 ups) and then
manually by using the pressure sensor of the R2M:

Then with the filter hooked up. First out, then in:
