I do own such a piece: the HARMS MAC-16 MIDI-CV Interface. But I found
out, that one doesn't use this feature, simply because you do not mixup
the way of access to an instrument. If you have a modular synth with
knobs and cables, you don't want to jump over to a handling like editing
the Yamaha DX7.

And also regard economy: It would be quite expensive to develope such a
unit. The MAC 16 costed 10 years ago around 1400 Deutschmarks, which is
equivalent to a todays price of 1000 Euro. Hey, for 1000 Euro you get an
fully polyphonic nord modular on the used market or any new VA-synth.

Finally the nord modular is the solution I have chosen for programmable
modular synthesizing.
