200e

I just got my 256e yesterday.  After spending some time with it it 
is clear that it IS stepped.   

The knobs being stepped is ok with me.  Digital pots I'd expect to 
have stepping.   Unfortunately the processing it does on a cv also 
exhibits stepping.  

I tried patching a serge LFO (dual universal slope generator as lfo) 
into the 256e with the in side set to 0 volts and the out to 2 
volts.   I then took the output and ran it to a serge precision 
vco.  It audibly showed stepping as the lfo ran from 0 to 10 volts 
getting squashed to 0 to 2 volts by the 256e.  When I set the out 
stage to 8 volts the stepping became less noticeable but was still 
audible.  

I posted an mp3 file of this patch to the group.  About half way 
through you can hear me shift the output on the 256e from 2 volt out 
to 8 volt out with the result of reduced size of the stepping.   

Maybe a future firmware update will provide higher resolution?
