Did they discovered the mousewheel in the Macworld as well then?
I thought they still were using only one mousebutton on their mice.
To say so:bad idea.
Faders!
It’s great to work with, you see always on which position the sliders are and so the values. You could also control live-recorded midi-cc’s easily when playing. Imagine that with knobs! No chance!
I am so happy that there are no knobs in renoise, they would not make the view more clear but worse.
All macs (except the laptops) are shipped with a programmable mouse (three button) with scrollwheel (360 degrees) nowadays. Also a lot of Mac users were using Logitechs or even Microsoft mices with scrollwheels. Oh yeah and SLIDERS!
