Yes. I came to much the same conclusion which is why I originally suggested
a cap. I'm also aware that by shifting right I'm not creating a true dead
band. The thing is that this pot isn't all that bad. And any give pot used
would probably exhibit the same problem somewhere in it's life. So,
reluctantly I've cleared out one of the mixer's features to make room for
some code that might quell the problem. I'm going to try an average of 2
first and see if that works because that would be the simplest thing to
code. And at that point it will easily render me a zero and a max scale. If
that doesn't work then I'll progressively try a more brute approach. But If
I'm lucky and it works then I might even be able to return some of the
feature set of the mixer.

Thanks again y'all. Most appreciated.

be absolutely Icebox.
