I guess you still don't have the answer youre looking for.
The number of steps for every parameter is also 127 like all the 
usual midi CC's. This gives you smooth parameter changes without 
stepping artifacts. You can make ik step though if you like that 
through parameter locks, the best feature on the MD for sure.

And yes it can sound very digital, very high to very low, very short 
to very long sounding digital, harsh, metallic, man i really love 
this machine!

Grtz. Ronald.
