If you need to adjust in 0.1 increments, a hardware knob, or software slider is not the tool of choice. Speaking of tools, if you're adjusting in 0.1 increments...100%
If there is one thing that annoys me when using my Helix is the encoder sensitivity after 3.50.
I avoid tweaking on the hardware as much as possible due to this, it used to be a tad slow but now it's out of control.
Trying to adjust 0.1 steps tests my patience, forget about it if your encoders are not brand new and skip clicks.
From 3.50 release notes:
Going from 0 to 10 in one turn is not a drastic improvement if adjusting 0.1 steps precision has been compromised.
I much prefer comfortable 0.1 step adjustment than 360 in one turn, heck I would even take pre-3.50 ballistics than what we have now.
I advocated for 'one turn' sensitivity because it allows a better sense of what the control is doing but what we got in 3.50 is way too sensitive.
It was a good step in the right direction but the result is not satisfactory in my personal opinion.
We need a happy medium.
Interesting, so they updated global encoder sensitivity on the Stomp and not only the encoders under the screen, was that even necessary?
Woah, I thought it was just me and my old encoders!
If you find a way to reliably replicate the issue let me know.
Ah yeah, that looks super annoying!
Both of my Stomps occasionally do that.
Of course now I can't get it to happen when I try.
You ever own an HP 50G calculator? Am I over-exposing my nerd factor here?Electronically speaking, in every button press and encoder 'click' there is a small amount of noise when switching happens that can cause false triggering.
The solution to that can be in software or hardware, it's called Debounce or Debouncing, just adding a small amount of 'wait time' after the first rise/fall edges can solve that.
I am sure there is a debounce code in the Helix like in everything else, but maybe it could use a touch more 'wait time' between clicks to mitigate false triggering on encoders that are slightly noisier?
It had this before, though. And it worked so poorly that's probably why you didn't notice it
The only way I could get acceleration to kick-in was to spin the knob by sliding my finger down the side of it. And the knobs are spaced so closely together that you can't really do this without getting your knuckle stuck between them.Couldn't agree more, even did the same thing sliding the finger on the knob, hahaha!!!It had this before, though. And it worked so poorly that's probably why you didn't notice it
I think this one definitely comes down to user preference. For me, the new encoder behavior is excellent. I love it. But a sensitivity setting might make everyone happy.
