Doepfer

Hi to all mailinglist members.

Am I missing something or the speed of software ADSR signal coming from Doepfer 
MCV24 cannot be compared to the ultrafast signal from a-140 ADSR module? Im in love 
with that beautiful click it can produce but I cannot get the same results with MCV24 
ADSR.
Is that normal?


Thank you,
Tonko

Thats normal. The software envelopes are not intenden as a replacement 
for the A-140. As far as I remember (Dieter or Chris will jump in here) 
the MCV24 was developped at a time, where similar interfaces (Harms, 
EES, Kenton) had soft envelopes. So Doepfer didn't want to stand back. 
But in fact these envelopes are included in an technical environment 
(microcontroller, DA-converter) which are not intended to realise 
realtime envents with change rates as required in - lets say - a 
upperclass virtual synth.

These envelopes are "nice to have"-addons, but not something you would 
call the "center competence" of the interface.
