I'll echo Dieter's sentiments on this - yes it can be done, but you have to work very hard to make it happen, so in the end it is much easier to make a voltage-controlled filter using more conventional means, i.e. transconductance amps etc. My efforts with the MF10/LMF100 may give an idea of what's involved (though I did try and push the clocking frequency beyond the normal audio range):
