The idea is a combination of knob and slider - the control has the
appearance of a knob. When you click it, though, a pop-up slider
appears. When someone else sets its value or it receives a parameter
changed notification, no pop-up slider should appear, of course. But
as soon as you click it, a slider pops up.
That was what I was saying. Only the knob should look differently, not
like something you would have to turn. It could look like a mini slider.
The idea of zooming could be used more in interfaces where screen
estate is important.
The knob view when the control is not being "moused" has the advantage
of showing the parameter value at a glance without taking up too much
room.
The slider view when the control is being moused has the advantage of
showing the user which is the direction in which he/she should move
the mouse in order to increment or decrement the value, which is
something otherwise really confusing in a knob alone.
Precisely!
Arthur
