rotary's with large value ranges?

[Tonfisch]

Hi
if i need a rotary for a parameter, say 0 - 2600 ms, i my choice was to split the parameter and use 2 rotary's, to make the rotary's responsible and get a fine granulation if needed.

Is there a way to do that with only one rotary?
One way could be to use 'shift key' for fine increments. But many user exlusively use the mouse-wheel to edit a value.
Any ideas arround?

On FX plugins I usually use the vernier mode for finetuning with cmd or alt on the knob while mousewheeling, it depends on the plugin manufacturer.

There's a velocity mode in the JUCE slider class :

setVelocityBasedMode
https://docs.juce.com/master/classSlider.html#a59b616e79738d3adb83093dc532822d0

setVelocityModeParameters
https://docs.juce.com/master/classSlider.html#a47c37989ff5f6453f2c44f1a7455e1c1

I'll check if it's already implemented in Ctrlr, if it's missing I'll add it for you in the next release, just confirm if it's what you'd need.

Well how lucky I am, It's already implemented :

thanks, that's cool.
I'tt give it a try

Ctrlr has:

        ctrlrSlider->setVelocityBasedMode((bool)getProperty(Ids::uiSliderVelocityMode));
        ctrlrSlider->setVelocityModeParameters ((double)getProperty(Ids::uiSliderVelocitySensitivity),
                                                (int)getProperty(Ids::uiSliderVelocityThreshold),
                                                (double)getProperty(Ids::uiSliderVelocityOffset),
                                                (bool)getProperty(Ids::uiSliderVelocityModeKeyTrigger));

Which corresponds to :

void Slider::setVelocityModeParameters (
double | sensitivity = 1.0,
int | threshold = 1,
double | offset = 0.0,
bool | userCanPressKeyToSwapMode = true,
ModifierKeys::Flags , modifiersToSwapModes = ModifierKeys::ctrlAltCommandModifiers )

Changes aspects of the scaling used when in velocity-sensitive mode.

These apply when you've used setVelocityBasedMode() to turn on velocity mode, or if you're holding down ctrl.

### Parameters :

sensitivity
higher values than 1.0 increase the range of acceleration used

threshold
the minimum number of pixels that the mouse needs to move for it to be treated as a movement

offset
values greater than 0.0 increase the minimum speed that will be used when the threshold is reached

userCanPressKeyToSwapMode
if true, then the user can hold down the ctrl or command key to toggle velocity-sensitive mode

It's not for mousewheeling, it's for ctrlr/cmd mouse click and drag
