How easy is that to use in practice though? With a mouse, and
particularly with a touch screen, it's not that easy to do a purely
vertical movement without introducing lots of horizontal "noise" that
will surely hamper your attempts at fine settings?!

How about using the axis inline with the slider
for coarse control, and
the other axis for fine control? For example, a horizontal fader would
use horizontal drag as a "direct grab" as usual, but the vertical
distance would be used as a fine control.
This saves a modifier, and is more discoverable for it (users are pretty
likely to figure this out by mistake), as well as accurately usable with
one hand. Could be applied to touch screens, as well.
this been around in several different audio apps for at least a
decade. just a FYI :)
