The usual approach I’ve seen in synths is to take a voltage controlled triangle wave oscillator and shape it somehow by putting it through some transistor or diode network. These are not real sine waves, but decent approximations. There’s an example [here on the forum.](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/debugging-my-tri-sine-waveshaper/2877) Even a filtered triangle can look somewhat like a sine. You can probably do something with a Wien bridge, but I think getting decent V/Oct voltage control is not quite as simple.
