Actually, yes! I think this ∗would∗ produce the effect I'm trying to
describe!!!

Something like this ?
http://www.synthfool.com/diy/jh_ipscan.html(scroll down to "piecewise linear VC waveshaper)
Apart from the transitions being linear segments rather
than "sinusoidal" ones, this should offer much of what you're
looking for, and maybe a little more. Like changing each of the
breakpoints witch CV's.
