Ok, but this a good midrange interface like the Kentons, the MCV8 or the 
EES: it rovides 8 CV-channel plus 8 simple Gate-Outs (no D/As!). When do 
you really use 8 separate voices? And this is only for simple 
CV/Gate-Controlling per voice. If you you want Keyboard CV, Velocity, 
and VCF-CV and Mod-Wheel-as-CV you are reduced to two voices!

In the opposite I often use two or three voices only, but a lot(!) of 
midicontrolled CVs. The Harms provides real 16 CV-Outputs with 16Bit DA. 
The Doepfer MCV24 has 4 outputs with 16Bit and 20 output (12Bit). I 
actually think about replacing my Harms by a Doepfer MCV24 because of 
the count of possible control voltages.

I think, the kind of usage determins which interface is the best. The 
one who is using MIDI only as replacement for a Keyboard or a 
note-on/off-Sequencer, runs fine with a Expressionist. People, who use 
MIDI for complex modulations, run better with a Harms, a MCV24 or a 
A190+A191.
