Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I just posted about a similar thing, there are quite a few parameters,
which are really not suitable to tweak while recording the audio, OSC
levels, OSC pitch, filter cutoff amount, K amount, for starters. they
can all make discontinuous jumps in parameters, which will cause
glitches, or stepping effects. 
it would be wonderful if all these parameters were smoothed so you
could tweak them live, but until then, you might have to accept that
its inevitable for a complex modular synth costing 350 pounds to have
limitations. it might be better to focus on using the sequencer to
modulate parameters rather than doing it by hand.
