As it is, if you've got an MS-20 or an SPV-355, you could use these 
synths' pitch-to-voltage converters. :)

But I think it's simpler to use a MIDI-CV converter instead. That way 
you free up the separate outs for other duties, and the timing and 
triggering will be much tighter than with P/V-converters. 
I use the MD to control a Roland SH-7 and a Korg MS-20 via a Kenton 
Pro-2000 (as well as an OSCar directly via MIDI), and this works 
great. The MS is now responding to volume and separate resonant high- 
and low pass filters separately (as well as standard gate and note 
voltages). All separately controllable per step... :) The MD 
sequencer is very inspiring to use, and gives very different results 
from a software sequencer.
