My BLOP plugins include a frequency modulator/shifter
that takes a frequency value and a modulating signal,
outputting the frequency modulated by +/- 1 octave per
+/- "voltage" in the signal:

output = freq * powf(2.0f, signal);

Works fine for LFO type things, as well as making
direct control of stuff like cutoff sound more
natural.

There's also simple add and product plugins for more
basic stuff.
