The PEK has endless rotary encoders.  I have not experienced any
'jumping' with mine, though there is a certain amount of stepping,
which becomes more noticible as resonance is increased or distortion
is on.  You tend to get that when you have analog circuitry under
digital control, and a top to bottom resolution of 164 steps..

there is no stepping of this kind with the envelopes or LFO's.  just
direct patch manipulation causes it.
