The Rotary Knob provides smooth 360-degree radial parameter tuning for continuous variables: LFO wave speeds, color cycle frequencies, audio trigger thresholds, and procedural Node Graph macro parameters.
🕹️ Interaction Techniques
- Vertical & Radial Drag: Click and drag vertically upward/downward or rotate in a circle to adjust the dial angle.
- Mouse Wheel Scroll: Hover over any knob and scroll the mouse wheel to rotate smoothly.
- Fast Speed Adjustment (
Ctrl+ Drag): Increases rotation velocity for broad sweeps. - Micro-Precision Mode (
Shift+ Drag): Drops rotation sensitivity by 10× for surgical fine-tuning of oscillator frequencies. - Direct Value Typing: Click the percentage or numeric readout beneath the dial to input an exact value directly from the keyboard.
🎛️ Hardware Endless Encoders
When mapped to hardware MIDI rotary encoders via Assign Mode, Unilighter automatically performs relative step accumulation. This ensures butter-smooth rotary adjustments without parameter jumps or value collisions.
