My Kenton Pro-4 has separate trigger and gate outputs.

It would use insert cables, not Y-cables. Quality insert cables are
available from Clarke, Whirlwind, ProCo, etc. All of mine have Neutrik
ends. Besides, insert cables are something most people already use.
In my experience, while CV outputs for velocity might seem utterly
necessary, they are used less often than one might think. So it might be
more practical to have them on the rings of the note outputs, than on a row
of dedicated jacks.
Anyway, for me all of this largely academic, since I already own a
MIDI-->CV converter. Although I might want better pitch accuracy at a
later time. Regardless, a four-channel unit with MOTM build quality for
only $230 is a great deal, even if it doesn't have every feature.
