1. Parts of it still look pixeled
2. The ergonomics of the knobs are now uncomfortable to work with

Hi audiosabre,

sorry to hear that! Could you specify which parts still appear pixelated so that we can investigate? Also, are you on Windows or macOS?

Regarding the ergonomics of the knobs...Turnado now features rotation-speed–dependent parameter adjustment behavior. This means the speed of turning an effect knob when using your mouse affects the rate of value change, making it possible to traverse the full range with approximately one fast turn, while allowing fine adjustments in small steps when the knob is turned slowly.

Best regards,
Nadine

Hi Nadine,

The pixelation appears in the background of most of the boxes in the middle FX window. I'm using win11. Screenshot

Granted, the new knob handling does make it easier to throw from one extreme to the other. I personally have my mouse dpi set high, so this was a non-issue before. However, anything inbetween is really hard to control. The speed at which the parameter moves is unpredictable and doesn't really track with my mouse movements. It intuitively feels off. Of course, this could just be me, & it would be interesting to hear others feedback, but count me in the "I don't like how this now works" camp.

Thanks & regards...

Just compare with FabFilter plugins knob behavior. It's the industry leader/standard when it comes to mouse accelerated movement.

If this deviates a lot from their knobs, then it's no good. If it's about the same, then it's good.

I think the new mouse tracking feature isn't scaling well when you increase the magnification of the interface. What feels about right at 100% is too slow at 140%.
