the privilege and pleasure of testing and working with a data protocol
called CV, or control voltage, in these last 2 weeks.
funny to call CV a "protocol" - it's been around since the 60s, and just
describes the fact that a given processing unit reacts to an incoming
voltage rather than a knob.
at first, i wasn't quite sure if you're joking... but yes, it's very
convenient, just totally not new :)
much like a "one midi command per wire, running status on" architecture.
compared to ardour's automation tracks (which are somewhat difficult to
use), what does non-mixer do that's better?
comparing midi and cv is apples and oranges imho.

Yes, i'm sure it's not new, although implemented in a software
environment may well be...rejuvenating.
I'm struck by the elegant simplicity of it, and the ease of use, hence the mail.
Not sure about apples and oranges though. I've seen a few attempts at
using midi for automation, none of which were as easy to use.
I'm also not sure that "powerful" readily equates to a requirement for
added complexity. If a design is so easy to use that you're not aware
of it, then old or not, it must have something going for it.
Just my view or course.
Alex.
