You still need a PIC chip and its software, with basic MIDI  
implementation on it, a slave mode at least. Not everyone can do this  
(we are not all developer geeks ;) then the CV circuits to have the  
basic control. It's not a 5$ affair.

Maybe with the MIDIbox system it could be made for cheap in DIY, but  
not for commercial use. :(

On the commercial point of view, the equation is simple, you had MIDI  
(beyond basics), you double the building price. If the MIDIbox system  
was licensed, it'd be easier for all analogue manufacturers as it'd  
drop the development issues and provide a robust system that works,  
right now, each manufacturer has to develop its own software. Then  
the price could drop as the cost would be mainly the CV part.
