I think most "players" would consider using a foot pedal to control the slew rate as they played, and most "sequecerers" would use an aux CV to automate the change.

So imagine a Theremin - it's output goes to a quantiser which quantises to steps but the rate of change - a slide generated by the VC Slew acting on the quantised pitches - is dependent on how fast you move your hand from one (approximate) note position to another. So I move my hand fast, very little slew, I move my hand slow a longer slew.

So notes coming out of a quantiser produce a gate when there is a new note value. The A156 does this by itself but the uScale does not. The reason I'm using uScale(s) is the freedom of note selection - for instance a cluster from F to Bflat inclusive are "on" but notes B to E are off. With a random voltage source A149 the probability is you get more Fs and Bflats than the notes bounded by them as all B to E are quantised to F or Bflat but only the actual accurate notes in between are heard as themselves. Or pentatonic scales, or Kokin Joshi Scale (I have flutes in these odd scales!!)

I thought perhaps Florian had seen through your description and realized you want a F->V convertor, but in your initial post you said you wanted a CV based on a CV.  Maybe it is not clear as you did not specify whether the first CV is stepped or smooth
