A reduced rate CV port doesn't really make much possible that's not already 
possible with a full buffer of values at the audio sampling rate.

Its an optimisation -- *perhaps* -- but thats not the same thing as a new 
capability.

If a receiving application, for example, wants to update its filter parameters 
at 1/16th the full sampling rate it is perfectly capable of skipping 
16-at-a-time along an audio-rate buffer of values all by itself. Or 
8-at-a-time. Or 32 or whatever divisor makes most sense for *that* application, 
or was configured by the user of that application, or whatever.

Meanwhile this same buffer can be routed at the same time to applications that 
would prefer the full rate data.
