>Here is a response from one of our engineers regarding your questions:
>
>The short answer is, the K2000/2500 series have a tuning resolution of 1 cent
>with a typical error of +/- .05 cents. For very low playback rates (down 5
>octaves), the error increases to approximately +/- .5 cents.
>
>Regardless of the method used to modulate the pitch (intonation table, pitch
>bend, LFO, etc.) the resulting pitch is always rounded to the nearest cent
>(1/100 of a semitone).
>
>The pitch bend response is linear in cents. If you throw the pitch wheel half
>way, the pitch will change by half the amount specified (in cents). In
>frequency space this is an exponential relationship.
