I disagree. I never heard zipper noise, when I fade in or out or when
using MIDI panning. Usually those steps aren't audible when fading or
panning, but I often missed steps for static levels. Speaking for synth
from the 80th and 90th, for the panning synth usually didn't use all 128
values, but 128 steps usually are used for the volume. I don't remember
audible steps when fading, but I remember that there were not enough
steps for optimal mixing. YMMV! Suppose you have *real* faders which have a range of
127 mm.
That's not far from a typical size on a pro mixer.
Would you ever adjust them by half a millimeter ?
Good point!
As I already pointed out, I never noticed zipper noise when sending
volume control to a synth, but sometimes 128 steps (and IIRC all 128
steps were used) were not enough. Perhaps it was neither linear nor log,
but bad programmed usage of those steps. I remember that for panning
often less then 10 steps were provided, I dislike/d this a lot. IIRC
panning sometimes didn't effect a hold note, it was used for the next
played note, so at least this can't be compared to a digital mixer.
