Doepfer

Hello Mr. Blacet,

I'm currently using 2 x Analogue Solutions M2CV units. The only thing that I would think 
to add to these would be a DIP switch, or rotary selector, that would 'hard-set' the MIDI 
channel. This would be in addition to having the very handy MIDI Learn button/feature. I 
don't think that it would be necessary to have more than a few 'hard' MIDI channel 
receive settings, PLUS the 'MIDI Learn' button. 

Practical Application:

The Doepfer MAQ Sequencer has one MIDI Out. When daisy-chaining a couple (or 
conceivably more) of the M2CVs, it is a bit of a bother to set all of the rows on the MAQ 
(there are 3) to the same MIDI channel, press PLAY, Press MIDI Learn on one M2CV, Press 
STOP, then change all rows on the MAQ to another MIDI channel, press PLAY... etc. Doing 
this 3 times and then resetting each row on the MAQ to its desired MIDI channel can be a 
PITA. If the system is powered down one must do the whole process again.
Imagine this process with something like the Genoqs Octopus and a bunch of MIDI to CV 
interfaces.

So, if we had an 8 position DIP switch or rotary, we could reserve the 1st 7 positions as 
Channels 1-7 and the 8th position as "MIDI Learn".

Naturally, this would only apply if MIDI Through were to be added to your design as
