There's a lot to be said for a true monophonic or duophonic CV kbd - not the
least of which is that the midi converters don't all handle true low note
priority modes correctly. And you already mentioned portamento. Of course,
the old Moog kbd can be expected to have more drift and voltage droop than a
modern converter. Just play lots of fast notes<g>.
I'd probably go for it if I could verify that the thing works. Of course,
you need a power supply for it, don't you? That would add to the cost.
