    Any way to turn the Knobs in "effects" into sliders or something more practical with a mouse?

    I find the knobs super buggy and annoying when turning them with a mouse ..
    I understand the nostalgic DJ feeling of having knobs, however - I would love if there would be something more practical ..

    Thanks! :)

    Unfortunately only the balance, bass and treble knobs can be sliders, in their case on the main screen. For which knobs do you need sliders? Perhaps I can investigate putting your main one onto the main screen.

    The Effects panel is in its 9th year of existence. You're the first one having an issue with the rotary knobs. I'm guessing something is going wrong which isn't related to a "super bug" :) For instance, the left mouse button could be faulty. This happened to me with my Logitek mouse this year. I got all kinds of small pressing issues. After buying a new mouse everything works fine. Another thing could be the mistaken usage of the rotary knobs. It's about holding down the left mouse button and moving the mouse up or down. That's how all audio apps like DAW's implemented these kind of knobs. If you prefer going to the left and right then I could make a setting out of it (if possible).

    Hello, thanks a lot for answering! <3

    I don't think my mouse is the issue as I have expensive gaming mouse and have zero issues with anything else .. also the left click doesn't drop a single time ..
    Its very hard to explain so I uploaded a video :)

    The thing is, when I try to move the rotor, its not constant .. it doesn't follow my mouse movement whatsoever, it acts randomly ..

    I mean I am sure there is some kind of pattern to it which I simply don't get ..

    Maybe its because my resolution is super high, tried so set DPI to lower setting and ended up with the same result.

    Thanks a lot! <3

      Yep! Looking at your video (which is very helpful!) I see you do the wrong motion. The motion is up and down. Up = increase and down = decrease. This motion is explained in a sentence below 😃

      It can be a new motion for us Windows users so I get it when some don't pick it up immediately hence the explanatory sentence.
