It seems to me that if one of the knobs seems unwilling to go above 126,
moving one of the other three will often make it jump.  Perhaps the
impedance of the four combined has a minor effect on each individually?  

A related issue (probably has the same cause): it is difficult or
impossible to use the knobs to call up an precise value.  For example, I've
made a number of patches that assign arp speed to one of the knobs, so if I
want to sync to MIDI clock by setting the arp speed to 12, it will often
jump from 11 to 13, so getting 12 is impossible until I jiggle another
knob.  This has never bothered me since I usually set these values from my
sequencer anyhow, but I thought it was worth mentioning. 

Take care,
Eric
