Akemie’s Castle owner here, and bought it primarily because I love all the inconsistencies and inaccuracies of the chip it uses but also because of the mix of physical and CV control that the Quad Operator, for example, lacks (as much (Removed after being fairly prompted to revisit my recollection of its gain CV behaviour.) as the Quad Operator is definitely cool with that full matrix!) I do love the idea of picking up a MegaFM at some point, though, but for now I generally avoid MIDI in my modular setup because reasons. 
Back to Akemie’s!
I have it paired up with a Quadigy as its source of level envelopes, but could certainly use NerdSEQ envelopes (and may at some point.) CV 16 outputs take care of waveform, ratio, etc. It’s a nice little grouping of modules.
