number of controller events with relatively large changes in value, drag the mouse
quickly.
Creating a change that sounds smooth does not always require making the value
change by one on each tick. Bigger jumps may sound very gradual if the tempo is
fast. Also, many devices round off the controller values. For example, many
instruments respond to volume controller values of 100 and 101 with exactly the
same loudness. Using too high a density of controller events can backfire by
making the computer work so hard during playback that it is unable to keep up.
This will usually cause hiccups or poor timing during playback.
