You are correct, I was using a ramp from my micro controller dac and realized the derp that of course my upward movement is going to not show as much since the ramp is going up :/
Sometimes I wonder how I am even able to do this stuff at all haha

I tested the algorithm by injecting a 1Hz square wave into the pot input to simulate instantaneous changes to the control. The normal pot output has a long (100ms) time constant. The fast control output is indeed 4X faster, and is still clean and filtered. I have a scope picture, but I can't directly attach it.
I am wondering the nature of the 100ms time constant, is this happening in the hardware? like an analog RC lowpass filter? I just wanted to try and figure it out to see if I can hone in on an optimal coefficient for the highness and also to use in my little modular simulator patch Im making in Audulus3
Yeah, it is a filter in the POT ADC. It was done so the POTs would have stable values even in an environment with vibration (i.e. a stage).
