I would say the interface is pretty un-intuitive. I figured it out, but
it sure looks like ranges rather than saying just +/- that many patches.

I can't say what would be best, just that because the length of the list
changes, it isn't obvious what it means. Perhaps something more along
the lines of:
(0) -300 -100 -30 -10 +10 +30 +100 +300 tip

Where all entries are always shown, just some of them are not
hyperlinked. I'm also a bigger fan of the 10,20,50 system, or maybe just
plain
(0) -500 -100 -50 -10 +10 +50 +100 +500 tip

I suppose the 30s make it so that 3 clicks take you up to the next level...

To clarify, the problem with the basic display, is that it looks like
you are navigating to the range 0-300 or 300-100 or 100-30 or 30-10, if
you hadn't mentioned the logarithmic scale, I probably wouldn't have
figured it out.
