A simple one would, yeah. I would definitely want to at least scale the
intervals, if not set them individually (which is apparently difficult for
analog electronics to do without drifting, etc.).
If you put a swept voltage through one and controlled a VCO with it, yes,
you'd get a sound like you describe (assuming it was set to 1/12 volt
steps).
For Theremin players having a hard time finding that pitch, a quantizer is
the answer. Then you could put the VC Lag module AFTER the quantizer to
smooth it a little bit, but still have those solid in-tune pitch plateaus in
there.

Am I understanding corectly that a quantizer would only allow cv voltages
corresponding to the 12 tone scale? If so, wouldn't this make any type of
portamento sound more like running your fingers down a keyboard versus a
nice smooth sound? -Nate
