Re: External control: Expression Pedals or CV
I like both, having different pedals synced with CV or using different waveforms is really fun, and so is expression controlling stuff.

BTW, my CV controlled Dubscope rules so hard. Need to record something to show that off.

Both.
Wish I could find a CV box with different waveform.

Re: External control: Expression Pedals or CV
I use exp pedals now, but since I plan on putting together a modular synth in the next year, I voted both exp and cv

Re: External control: Expression Pedals or CV
I have a few CV-compatible delays, and used it back in the day when it was the only viable option.
Now if I want stupid, asinine control it's 'find a unit that lets you assign anything to almost anything', including an expression pedal. Being able to sweep independent features on different effects and then setting another one or two or three that do it to individual settings on specific LFO shapes, times, and the like is far more easy with something like the Roand GR-55 assigns (which are a greatly ignored part of a massively underrated unit).
If I had analog synths etc with me or people who played them, I"d want CV more, but now the CV inputs are dusty and unused, like the old reel to reel in my closet.

Re: External control: Expression Pedals or CV
in theory i love the idea of both, but almost never use either... it's just a cherry on top to have those features!
