Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater's MIDI magician, gives a quick but thorough primer on the pros and cons of each: control voltages are a true analog means of synthesizer control and manipulation, while digital MIDI offers modern perks such as presets and automated complexity. Some synths use MIDI, some use control voltages, and others do both. So why choose one over the other? Tune in to learn more!
