For example, there will still only be 16 steps for the resonance
parameter, so there will be audible "steps" even though you are
controlling it with a knob, contrary to an analogue synth knob which
is mostly a real potentiometer.
An analogue knob will have an infinite number of steps while the
digital ones are limited to the "resolution" of the chips.
This isn't really a problem for me, as I was mostly thinking about
using the knob to make new patches fast with immediate results, while
most of you seem interested in using it "live".
