Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hehe, I think you misunderstood me. I mean, does the filter step 
(quantize, stepping noise) when being modulated from a manual source, 
like foot controller or mod wheel. The answer is that it only steps 
slightly when a manual source like a mod wheel is adjusted very 
slowly. It's a lot better than most synths, that's for sure.
