Hi Andy,

I am working on this already and it is close to be released. It is easy on MIDI messaging level, but it required more work on the pot reading functions. I am safe now with 10/11-bit readings regarding the noise. This means if full 14-bit range is required I make bigger steps.  I am considering a hardware adjustment to reach full 14-bits per revolution. But I still need to think about it, sending all midi message on one revolution is not realistic anyways.
