I use CV to MIDI quite often. I will run my CV keyboard into the
PSIM. Since I can't capture triggers, I look for gate to be valid and
then sample the CV. I use this CV as a reference point and track
changes from it. When the change is greater than a semitone, I must
have a new note as long as the gate is still valid and will send a
midi note off and then send the new midi note on and reset my
reference CV.
What's interesting is if you set portamento on the CV keyboard. This
creates fast MIDI glissindos. You can hear these in some of my
samples.
I'll also use CVs to re-define program change, note velocity, and
offsets for a MIDI note stream.
The other thing I do with MIDI is to use it for general user input.
If I want to select a parameter for a program and don't have an analog
input left, I'll just use MIDI keys as parameters. These could be to
select one of 10 (or 88) preset arpeggiation sequences. I just need a
spare MIDI keyboard nearby to patch in. Since I built my bass pedals
I always have 13 keys nearby for parameter selection. You can also
use the mod and pitch wheels for general input. I have one program
where I use the pitch wheel simply as a toggle switch to apply
mappings to MIDI notes.
