The following is only slightly off-topic I think:
Could the plugin provide some way to have high resolution parameters
handled correctly automatically. It is important to support 14 bit resolution
without zipper noise when the MSB changes, e.g. a very small change
from a high LSB value to a low LSB in the next MSB should not result
in the parameter being changed twice, first increasing the MSB whilst
keeping the current LSB value and after that setting the LSB since that
causes a jump of almost 1 MSB increment where only a very small
increment was wanted.
Perhaps (N)RPN was not meant for this kind of control, but won't wide
CCs have the same problem?
