The control rate is already higher than the event rate in patterns, as 
Octal uses a block-oriented architecture. The plugin API is designed so 
that you can ignore the tracker event rate (you can still get the tick 
length etc if you want a delay length based on ticks).  Going to the 
sample level we can add another parameter slot---that is, the machine 
already recieves one parameter value per generated block per column per 
track, but if we send two the machine can interpret the first as the 
value at the start of the block and the second as the end value, and 
linearly interpolate the values. (With the block sizes we'll be using 
this should eliminate zipper.)
