I think it depends on what type of converter you want.  Pitch to MIDI 
converters are expensive and I hear they don't work very well.  What 
seems more likely would be to affect some kind of retrofit for a control 
voltage output, which could then be used directly by any analog 
synthesizer with an CV in, or there are a few MIDI to CV converters 
(though I don't know if they go the other direction) that are much less, 
tending around $100.  I think Kenton used to make one of those.
