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.)
