To do polyphony right, first you need a polyphonic CV/gate source. True
1V/Oct keyboards were complicated to produce and rare until Emu invented the
microprocessor scanned keyboard. They licensed their design to Oberheim,
then other dedicated synths built them in. Now days, just use a MIDI/CV
converter like the Kentons or the Expressionist that support polyphony.

That's half the story. Now you need a minimum of 1 VCO, 1 VCA, and 1 EG per
polyphonic voice. You'll probably want at least 2 VCOs and a VCF to get to
the traditional complement found in a zillion dedicated polyphonics like a
Prophet.
