Ohhh... Software slew limiters... !
Im real bad - i get stuff like that working, and then dont really look at the manual again, but the slew limiters bit i missed.
Ill look and hear formyself, but thats my only gripe about the mcv24, is the lumpiness from its low dac resolution on most of the
outputs.
Hmm, but now im guessing that if its software slew, then this is before the dacs anyway, and so would make no difference Nothing
more than anohter way to say (lumpy) portamento
Let me know if im wrong. (i hope i am!)
Cheers, Julian
