MIDI continuous controllers are only 127 bits. So yes any "knobber" based on
CC's is going to be a problem with zipper noise. This is a fundamental
problem with MIDI itself.

There are ways around it using milti-byte non registered parameter numbers
or sysex strings, but many knobbers don't support the advanced formats. For
instance, the EMU modules want a multi-byte format with internal checksums.
The source device software has to support it.
