I understand fine, but the question was asked and never directly
answered. Describing how an edit box works does not address the fact
that users might expect automation to work the same when using a
scroll wheel to turn a knob as they would with the mouse itself
moving the knob. (As witnessed by the original question and at least
one responder.) Obviously there may be no mouse down/up to detect,
and that led to the issue of whether and how to inject a gesture that
would handle it. I was just trying to get an "official" opinion on
that concept. Management decisions & requests are often driven by
user demand, not by logic, and it's always better to have the proper
ammunition when fighting back. Just trying to load up. :-)
Thanks,

I think you've misunderstood. There is a difference between a
parameter value change and a gesture. Bill is saying that editing
a text box does cause a parameter value change, and they do set the
new value, but there is no gesture involved.
Unless you have a scroll wheel which can detect when a finger
touches it before a series of changes, and when a finger is removed
after a series of changes, then you do not have a human interface
device that is capable of gestures. Thus, you should not send
invented gesture messages. Just set the new value each time the
scroll wheel changes. That is all.

Ok, but that doesn't answer the question about how to handle
scroll wheel changes that DO cause parameter value changes.
Should begin/end gestures be sent? If so, is there a preferred
way to go about it?

For example, when you directly edit the value of the parameter in
a text box, then we just set the new value - no gesture
