If that is what they want to do they should use the right

tool, wich would be ring modulator in a synth. I'd expect

synths to use audio rate controls at least for some units,

even if in almost all cases 1/16 would be enough.
If a 'normal' audio app with a volume control (e.g. a mixer)

would actually accept a 20kHz sine wave as a control signal

then I'd consider it to be of extremely low quality and bad

design. The same app would happily add any noise present on

its controls to its signals and I wouldn't trust it for any

serious work. It's sort the software equivalent of using

cheap low-quality analog faders.
