I don't mean to step on Larry's parade here, but I think this can 
already be done with an Oakley Multimix and a bit of elbow grease. I 
modified my Multimixes so that they can provide a variable DC bias to 
any of the 3 outputs (-5V to +5V) if nothing is plugged into the 
input. I also used Larry's normalising scheme so that the three 
Multimix channels are cascaded. This allows the bias to go right to 
the 13V limits of the op amps, if you need that much offset. Adding a 
DC bias to the reversing attenuator function of the Multimix provides 
quite a variety of CV scaling and biasing. It's great for turning 
those +/- LFO signals into + only signals (and inverting them at the 
same time). Plus, there's already panels and boards for the Multimix.
