IMO, knobs aren't as good as sliders when it comes to visual feedback. Also, there's something very counter-intuitive in going up and down to perform rotation. I know people are used to it, but still... Growing/unfolding sliders (such as the one I mentioned before) are a solution to the space problem. That said, I reckon that adding a few knobs here and there looks cool :) It can bring some graphical balance and eye-candy, which may be very important. When you make music, the UI look & feel has some emotional influence on you. -- Olivier _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
