I`m with you: the minimum would be 12 bits but 16 bit is the optimal.
I think in the old times 8 bit could be justified because the high prices
for 12 or 16 bit converters, but not nowdays...

Also FYI, the only midi-cv converter I use is the encore expressionist
(16bits smotth converter!) and the kenton pro2000 (i use just the 16 bit
outs for CV, the aux outputs are used for trigger/gate only).
8 bits are unusable for precision VC control and even using slew at the
ouput can`t work for lost of aplications.

Please bring us another good product!
