For the harmonic mixing use case, we need a control, that is able to tweak < 10 cts. The nearest harmonic key is always <= 2.5
way. So from this point of view, a 0,05 ct click and +- 3,2 halftones knob should be sufficient.
For a chipmunk effect, the current +- 12 halftones scale is just fine.

So we may decide to use the fine scale on a permanent knob and move the coarse knob to an effect Rack. We may also duplicate the fine knob for users who wish to have a shared FX/Pitch knob on the controller.
This will also reduce the need for a pitch knob in all skins.

We may also implement a two buttons to shift a track by 5 halftones Up and down (or other fixed jumps). This allows to produce cool chord effects during mixing.
