I'm a heavy user of the splitter method too. Only catch is that you end up with a load of unnecessary splitters. If you have to do this to quite a few inputs, it's better to make the whole lot into a macro, so you get a macro patch with the same inputs as the original patch, but with sliders.

I have a suggestion that would clean this up totally: an extra panel in addition to the parameters and settings, called 'input ranges' or similar. That would have a list of parameters and their ranges, just like the settings of the input splitter, and would work the same way (changing the knob to a slider if a range is given).

Word! I am also being very annoyed by those rotarybuttons, especially when the parameter i want to change is in the range of 0-360 rather than 0-1.. Would it be possible to use right button to make it spin faster?

You can hold the shift key to make it spin faster.

Additionally, if you create a splitter with a minimum and maximum you get a slider rather than a spinner which should be a faster interface and more technically correct for your situation because it will be bounded. I realize that 0-360 probably means it's an angle and a 0-360 spinner would be even better, but there is no interface for this right now.



Also, it would be great if the inspector would show "Settings" as default rather than the input parameters
since they are already represented in the patch-parameter window..
(actually it would be really sweet to have patch-settings working in the same way as the patch-parameters in an own pane, but that might just be me, i use a lot of javascript in my compositions ;) )

You can hit cmd-1,2,3 to get directly to the pane you want (I use this all the time rather than cmd-I since I know what I want and I don't want to use the mouse)

If you hit cmd-shift-I you get a persistent settings pane so you can edit javascript without the JS patch being selected.

Hope that helps!
Troy
