Here's the thing. You never need to tune a filter to an exact frequency.
If you do, you need to design an instrument with an incredibly precise and stable filter, and analogue synthesizers don't have that.
- ilyt 4y agoNo, you just need to widdle the knob till it is in range you want. If knob have too little detents you can't widdle it close enough to what you want. Granted, 14 bit CC is near enough but support in implementations is kinda spotty, and, well, it does eat twice as much CC. Shove it into a synth that have a bunch of oscillators, filters, LFOs and effects [1] and you'd probably be forced to downgrade few of those parameters back to 7 bit * [1] https://midi.user.camp/d/waldorf/blofeld/ https://midi.user.camp/d/waldorf/blofeld/
- Gordonjcp 4y agoThe Juno 106 has something like a semitone and a third, and no-one complains about its cutoff control being "steppy". Indeed, everyone holds it up as a paragon of smooth and progressive response. There's actually a very clever reason for this, and if you study the circuit diagram and the voice card firmware you'll see just how clever it is.
