Create it and I'll certainly bookmark it–and check it daily!

Well I'd recommend you watch these, if you haven't done so already:

IIRC it covers pretty much all you need to know about CV.
I've already watched these and read Peff's books…and it's clear to me that there's
a TON more to know or to at least wonder about regarding CV and Reason, esp. now that the walls have come down so far.
Explanations of what CV all by itself actually is, and examples of how it's used in Reason are all over the place, sure, and the first part is pretty easy while the second is endless–fine so far as that goes. And a good use of a special section here or somewhere would be simply to collect all those resources; that’s probably already been done somewhere else; would love to know about that.
What's NOT in any such resources that I've found in the last month or so of looking quite hard, is detailed coverage about how to create, convert, access and input every other type of signal or message that can possibly be used as CV, inside Reason, coming into Reason, and going out of it.
Quite apart from Reason's new VST power, it's also apparently long been one of the most powerful and complex software devices in existence for manipulating CV signals, especially given all the RE's devoted to doing just that. But put those two facts together and you've got, I'd guess, a LOT of folks just like myself who have plenty of experience with other DAWS and plugins, and large collections of such products, but have never til now used Reason or needed to care about CV. But now, we're suddenly right in the thick of both of these new worlds. And we, or certainly I, want to know, right from the start:
How do other apps that use CV (Bitwig, Reaktor, Numerology, Max, just to name a few of the bigger ones) talk to Reason, and vice versa? Does Reason CV have to be converted to MIDI or audio to be sent out, and do external CV signals have to be converted to MIDI or audio to get back in? What are good tools and interesting workflows for doing so? In short, how exactly, and in what interesting ways, and with what limitations, does Reason's CV mojo completely change our game? Is it the One DAW to Rule Them All, or just a cool new tool that has implications beyond the obvious and typical?
Without that level of understanding, IMO, no explanation of Reason CV is actually useful to those like myself who already know plenty about wave shapes, LFOs, polarity, envelops, gates, pitch, mod matrices, etc. but have never until now needed to use CV, or even had access to it, to play with these things—which are all the typical CV tutorial or article tend to talk about—i.e., CV 101. Where's the "Advanced CV for Multi-App Users" tutorial, or Forum? Why not here?
