Hi,
I'm still playing around with Miller-Puckette's example patches. I
changed one and a repeated addition or subtraction of 0.1 renders
numbers with 5 positions behind the comma.
I wouldn't know why that is so. Any explanation -even short- is
appreciated.

i would say this is due to limited precision of floating-point ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point
