deal with filters' post!)

   Even though it seems vastly counterintuitive, my experience is that
MIDI2CV is as particular and subjective as sayyyyyyyyyy..... filter
preferences! It would certainly seem that this function should be cut
and dried. That was certainly my attitude when i took a contract to
develop a MIDI driver for a single device. It was then that i learned
how much of the process is arbitrary and how much latitude the
designers have. 
   When my own DIY gadgets were not keeping me happy i decided to
pony-up for a store-bought 'pro' solution, and i went shopping. i got
tons of clear well-reasoned guidance and advice from some very eminent
sources and was disappointed with everything i auditioned. 
   i ended up using  multiple types for various applications. So my
experience mirrors Mr. Chang's.... i found no 'best' only a collection
of tolerable compromises. 
   In particular,  for timing synchronization (the conceptual
black-hole of the 'feel factor') analog always sounds better to me
than MIDI.
   BTW, while this might seem a bit of overkill, the Envelator is the
best (read: most flexible, accurate and consistent) trigger delay
device i've ever worked with.
