ouch .... i would recommend to use such a synth for lfo applications only ... 
imagine you want a 2 khz sound ... meaning 2 kilovolts ... ;-)

furthermore, on most analogue synths, you have a 0..+10 volts range for the 
control signals .... and some of them allow to adjust the volts/frequency 
ratio, giving lot of of fun, i tell you ;-)

greets,
