Are hardware sequencers using digital logic?

Let's say you have a hardware sequencer sending cv out to control an analog synth. When a user instructs the sequencer to slide up or down from one note to the other, is the sequencer sending a continuous voltage change to the synth or is there binning going on from digital logic?

In other words, an analog synth is capable of continuous voltage changes, no binning or steps. Are hardware sequencers capable of also sending out continuous voltage changes, or are they backed by digital logic that is incapable of truly representing a continuous voltage change?

Please don't confuse continuous for ongoing. I use continuous in the strictly mathematical, EE way. Continuous, the opposite of discrete.
