Bjt2 has updated their free Crescendo plugin to version 1.0.68 with various enhancements and bug fixes:
- UI: custom knobs instead of sliders: click for focus, pageup/down, home/end, mouse wheel for moving or mouse click&drag for accelerated move for fine tuning.
- UI: custom knob position is floating point instead of integer, for higher precision.
- UI: knob diameter, label font size, border color and inner color are configurable.
- UI: default font Tahoma 16 DLP (8 points), bold.
- UI performance enhancement: removed duplicated redraws.
- UI is DPI aware: rescale font size with DPI changes. SETFONT size value is the font size at 96 DPI.
