MIDI mixer control

[Curtin, Steven D (Steven)]

My old Ensoniq ESQ-1 had 64 levels of MIDI volume control and even this was
enough for mixing.  It seems like the resolution of volume changes can be
much lower than for frequency, especially if you add lag processing or
"de-zippering" in series with the controls.  Any sudden volume change is
going to add a click to the output anyway.
