Doepfer

hello florian,
and, additionaly, the doepfer mcv24 has 12(or 24?)
software envelopes, freely assignable, and 12(or 24?)
software slew limiters, freely assignable.
the user interface on the doepfer mcv24 is much better
than the user interface on my kenton pro-2000. indeed,
the kenton pro2000 has many options in a lot of
horizontal pages. not very helpful.
