I can't think of any example. It's just more bits, basically.
Frankly, that's the only strong motivation I see for ints at all,
since if you just need an integer *value*, float should do. (Just
disable rounding.)
Agreed, I'm still not convinced that ints need to be there at all
Well, yeah... You'd have to implement ramping for integers in
plugins, and that's not quite as trivial as ramping floats. (I do it
all the time in Audiality - but that's 16:16 fixed point, so no one
relies on much accuracy in the lowest bits.)
Yes, ramping 23:0 ints would be inacurate and confusing.

BTW, how about making integer controls 64 bit? (*41*
extra bits!
:-)
Is there a justification? It's no big deal in any way, because they
can't be ramped (no
event
They can be, it's just not so accurate. If you want to swing
between 0 and 1000 in one block, set a ramp event.
