I am all for the digital oscillator if it will enable 1V/oct control.
That feature is very useful for controlled harmonic, as opposed to
inharmonic, generation.  
 
I liked Jurgen's suggestion about the multiplying DACs.  After all, a
DAC is just an R-2R ladder or binary weighted current sources, which is
still analog in my book.

Calibrated V/Oct response adds one usefull application: Transposing the

you can get the same (harmonic or non-harmonic) partials over the whole 
keyboard range



I would think this would be a very important part of a FS (if there is
not an external input which would defeat the internal oscillator). I
know that Mr. T. and I (as well as many others) on this list have had
several discussions about the need for modules to generate complex non
harmonic overtones for this very purpose.
