Hello.

First of all. I really like Biotek. It has some really nice features.

I feel totally stupid now, but I have not figured out how to type in a value for a parameter say the high cut frequency for the delay. Turning the ring makes it jump from like something like 316.6 to 325.1. So if I want to enter 320, how do I do that? Double clicking does not work...

Why do I want to do this? Well I like precision and I was trying to do a Karplus-Strong patch and that need some real detail to track.

Possible?

Hi GearNostalgia,

thank you for your warm words.

Unfortunately, this is not possible yet but it is very high on my personal priority list. It is a lot of work, though, so please don't expect it to happen quickly.

However, there are two ways you get a finer resolution when changing parameters:
1. You can switch to "Control Mode Rotary". I usually do this when I program sounds and switch it back to "Linear" when I want to make music.
2. When in "Linear" mode, you can hold down Command (or Control on Windows) when changing parameters to switch the mouse movement into "velocity mode" where slow movements result in small changes and fast movements in bigger ones.

Hope that helps a little bit.

Thank you. Is that control trick in the manual? I did not find it if it is. It helped a lot. Sadly I can not say I got a really good Karplus sound anyway, but it made editing a lot easier.

Hi GearNostalgia,

maybe by chance you are the same guy who contacted Tracktion Support with a Karplus Strong question today, which I just answered to. Have a look at it, I think you will be quite happy with what I wrote.

Best wishes,

Wolfram

I guess I am, can't be a very common question :) Well I have not found your answer in my mail. Just logged into Zendesk too and not there. Where did you send it?
