I cut my teeth on a mini back in the mid 70s so it's only natural that I prefer analogs, yet I find my digital synths indispensable. When Midi-CV came out I was quick to turn away and thought of it as a waste of money ...until I tried it. What I'm getting at is; Even if you don't use any of the digitals (VA or other) midi can be very useful and, in my opinion, does have a place along side analog gear, including modulars.
