Event thinning is usually performed to reduce the amount of extraneous
controller data and thus reduce the memory size of patterns. This filter
reduces the number of events in a musical fashion. Events may be reduced
by a specified amount from 1 to 128. The setting represents the smallest
change that will be kept. For example, if the setting were set to 3 and you
were thinning a controller sweep that went 1-2-3-4-5-6-7, you would be left
with:1-4-7. The filter also keeps any change in direction values.
