Just 128 steps for filter cutoff for an oscillating emphasis does not work well
if it needs to be tuned exactly to an VCO/DCO, it is basically never in tune
and was a big grumble about the early programable analogues since they
only had 64 to 128 steps available for filter frequency from their AD control
converters and memories. Two bytes does go a long way towards the goal and
it pretty much on if it is not applied as literal Hz but as a power scale.

Somebody asked which soft synths would support this kind of feature, Bristol
will be implementing CV in the next release for subset of its emulators.
