I think (oh dear, not again) that you want to stick to +/-5V... or maybe
0-10V. I don't think you want a full 20V swing. The VCO outputs +/-5V, and
the EG generates 0-+5V and 0 to -5V.
I think you might want to use an op-amp (or rather, a quad op-amp) to
isolate yourself from the power supply. Call it a hunch.
While you're at it, can you hickory smoke your voltage sauce? It gives it a
more vintage flavor... <grin>
