different. I've been toying lately with the idea of zoomable sliders
when you have too little real estate or pop up sliders that are larger
than their normal graphic representation when you enter their focus
area. The Soundplay approach also seems like a good way to do it. But,
when you're speaking of BeOS, wouldn't that be "took" a novel approach
Heh. I have to speak up for my favourite implementation, the one in the
Nord Modular control app. When a knob has focus a little spinbutton
appears obove it (up/down arrows and a text entry widget) and the right/up
v's radial control is ocnfigurable.
galan has:
left click -> up down movement
right click -> knob points to mouse
middle click is still undefined ... what shall i add here ?
Of course it helps that the app is tightly bound to a control surface, so
theres a real alpha-dial thats also bound to a knob when it has focus.
I like the popping-up-slider approach too though.
