Hi!

You are of course right about the "acceleration" feature, it can even
be tweaked using those custom editors we have, right? So even with a
24 PPR encoder you wouldn't have to turn six whole rounds to get from
0 to 127...

But I'm pretty sure the originals have 96 pulses per revolution. Mark
an encoder with blu-tack and start turning really slowly, so the
acceleration doesn't kick in... 24 is about a quarter of a turn, 48 is
half way and 96 is full circle. (And it shows every value in between.)
