I think that maybe some of the knobs are a bit too sensitive.

The EQ section especially. Just a small turn gives a huge increase or decrease.

I'm not where I can test this now, but I *think* that holding the shift dwn while adjusting *may* give sensitivity?...maybe it's senility or just confusion, but me thinks it works this way in Oatmeal?
I'll test when I get home and delete this if I'm wrong :oops:

I'd love the knobs in the sequencer to be quantisable too.

Yes, shift makes them less sensitive, but it shoudn't be nessecary except for very precise adjustments.

The way it is now, just a tiny move of an EQ knob and you are practically blowing opt the speakers.

Post

Holding shift and/or control and moving the mouse horizontally instead of vertically should do the trick... to be honest, I can't see the problem unless maybe you have your mouse set to move insanely quickly.

holding Ctrl gives less sensitivity for me, and shift gives even less....

edit oh hi Fuzz - i missed ur post :shock:

It's the same mouse that I use on everything else.

The dial on the EQ boost hardly moves and the volume increases dramatically.

Its nowhere near like that for me > the knob adjustments are very nice as far as I have experienced it...

It might be a win 98 thing.

Post

probably - what vst hosting program u using on win 98?

Post

I don't know... I was on 98 when I started developing Oatmeal, and it always behaved fine. Unfortunately I don't have 98 installed anymore, so I can't check...

Post

The knobs behave fine for me too, sometimes I move the mouse too much, but that's not really anyone elses prob. :P

Post

I think I know what P.T. is talking about. It's because the EQ gain is an :shock: eye-popping +60db on a *little* slider. Great for sound sculpting, but just a *little* twitch and you have a +26db boost!

Great for testing the durability of your monitor speakers. (Mine didn't explode, thank goodness.)

Is their any way you can scale the slider sensitivity down a little, Fuzz?

About the knob sensitivity - I'm still using Win98SE and what works here is to do exactly like Fuzzpilz suggests. I get close using mouse only, and then hold control and shift and move the mouse - and try going almost horizontally - do exactly like FuzzPilz suggests. It would be difficult any other way fuzzpilz were to set the gui up, given the wide ranges involved in some of the controls. Dual knobs? - I suppose, but then we'd talk about a cluttered gui. And this is much handier than sorting out dual knobs. For fine tune, it's always ctrl + shift + left click mouse. And you don't have to let up on the mouse button before pushing ctrl + shift. Try it "hot."

Cheers,

ps, Thanks Fuzzpilz, for making the entire additive harmonic spectrum scrollable with the right click on the mouse. :D

I really don't get you guys.
I have dozens of synths and a few EQs and none of them have such sensitive controls.

If that is how the developer wants it then that is fine.

I just don't see how people think it is normal or think that amount of sensitivity is normal, that you need to use fine tune mode for just about any adjustment.

Great synth none the less.
