Even knobs would be alright if they had keyboard bindings. Once you've
clicked on a knob you could adjust up and down, finely with cursor
keys, and coarsely with PgUp/PgDn.
Would that be so hard?

I just had to chime in with a metoo on this. Audio
apps on both Windows
and Linux have way too many simulated rotary knobs. I hate the damned
things! At least in Cakewalk HS one can usually ignore the knob and
just type in the right number. Give me either a straight-line slider or
nothing (plus, either way, a text entry/display box).

actually i've worked with those sorts of
apps, like Reason, in
windows *cough splutter*... and i find them really annoying to work
with... knobs dont actually translate very well into mouse usage!!!
you end up struggling to control the thing... although generally it
runs on the y axis up and down.... which is kinda counter-intuitive
to using a knob in 3 dimensions!
