Thanks for agreeing with me, Kip!

Actually, one thing that might work would be to narrow the range of
the "0-16383" knobs to "0-127" unless the wide range is actually valid
(e.g. if "Mode" has been set to a 14-bit value) and/or if the user
specifically REQUESTS the wide range via an additional "14-bit range"
checkbox or so. But again, in a sense that would also complicate
things, so I don't know... It's just one of those headache-causing
user-interface dilemmas...
