I love my Doepfer setupp and really have very little to gripe about. However, my A-190 has always bothered me because of the way it responds to receiving more than one note at a time. If I play one note one the keyboard, press a second note while still holding the first and then release the second note while still holding the first, the gate signal will cut off and the note CV will stay at the second note. This is different from the way analog monosynths react, and also different from the way every other digital synth I own reacts when in mono mode. On every other analog and digital synth, when the second note is released, the note CV will revert to the held first note, and the gate will stay on until the first note is released. The way the 190 reacts makes it difficult to play and often forces me to use another midi to CV box. This is a pity, because everything else about the 190 is so well thought out and well geared toward keyboard playing. Maybe this is because the 190 was one of the first modules to be released. Is there any chance that this could one day be updated in the firmware for the unit? Would changing this be a big job? Has there already been an update I don't know about?
