Loopy Pro has a cool convention that I haven't seen elsewhere for this. Drag up or down to change the knob value. While doing that, drag left or right to zoom in. That makes the up/down movement more precise.

I will look into it! Is this for mobile or desktop? I would like to see how they introduce this interaction pattern and what feedback they provide as you interact with the knob.

  • It's an ios app. IMO it's really good. I own exactly one apple product, and it's an iPad that only runs Loopy Pro.

    Here's a section from the manual that loosely explains the concept[1]:

    > Adjust a slider or dial’s value by dragging up and down, or left and right for horizontal sliders. For finer control, move your finger away from the dial.

    • Thanks! This link is really great!

      My only Apple product is also an iPad, and I mostly use it to make music with Auxy Studio:)

      Do you use any fun apps on Android? Currently, my favorite apps are Digitron and Nanoloop. (No affiliation, but Digitron's upgrade was gifted to me.)
