My thoughts too Deric,

but that is repeatable across all the of the 7 working faders. I just checked it again.

Looking at the MIDI in decimal (in Reapers inspector)I can see note 1's velocity climbing steadily from a value of 0 upwards, while the output of note 21's velocity jumps all over the place. It seems to be using notes 1-8 as MSB and 21-28 as LSB, so actually 5f is less than 68 on the MSB, or am I wrong?

Concerning the smaller discrepency, between 68 69 and 69 39, I think this might have something to do with the offset between what actually reads on the scale, and what the counter on the stepper motor is doing. There is always a slight offset. I remember this from many years ago when I worked on quality assurance in a manufacturer that made meters with a motorised scale which drew a trace. There is a name for this factor, but I can't remember it.
