i`ve guzzled my share of coffee and spent my share of time in trance-land but 
no readily "do-able" solution has popped up. years back,  buchla offered a 
harmonic bank vco ( but with only 6 partials, if i remember correctly ). i`ve 
never seen a picture of one though so i`m not sure what his solutions to the 
problem of control were ( even on this much smaller scale). also, seawright 
designed one, but as a complete instrument, at either columbia-princeton or 
univ. of illinois. was used on a piece of e.m. called "lemon drops" (again, 
if i remember correctly) way, way back in the late 60`s.
