Just a thought about having 128 steps of MIDI data as a limitation..

No, it makes perfect sense, and actually that's what people do in
their soft- or hardware. You often interpolate or filter or otherwise
map your input data to something better suited for your application.
However you also need to take care, because for example filtering with
a running sum or so adds a bit of latency.

the way i work with filters in my patches is to use a timer to measure the amount of time between the last number sent and the next number, and use this timer to set the interpolation time.

so to move very slow through the numbers i turn the knob slowly - sending out eg 29, and 2 seconds later, 30, will interpolate between 29 and 30 over 2.2 seconds. to jump i turn the knob quickly - or at least, make sure that several values come through in a short period of time.

i could perhaps make it nicer by doing some kind of quadratic interpolation rather than linear interpolation, but this existing system works well enough in practise.
