Since continuous controllers and tempo changes are the same sort of
function, I think it would be best if they were handled the same way. Some
kind of interpolation function beyond just linear ramps would be more
useful. It is true that many linear ramps can approximate the actual
function as close as required, but a more compressed representation would be
far more useful for any kind of event or parameter processing.
