No, just the opposite - the AN1x is too sensitive, i.e., it takes 
very little effort to jump from a value of '0' to '63' to '127'.

Well it's really a matter of personal preference but I bet if you 
polled the AN1x-list members a majority would say it's too sensitive.

Congrats on the SH-101! What a fun new buy that must be :-)
