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. 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. - Steve
