Overview
Knob Control
Discussion
The Knob Inspector Control provides a means of adjusting a value over a range by rotating the Knob with mouse click, drag, or scroll. The value can also be set by editing the text field above the knob.
The mapping property can be used to map knob value to module variable directly (linear), or by converting with db20 or undb20 functions. The range of the Knob can be set using the max and min property fields.
The modVar property must be set to point to a module variable. See the ParamSet module for more detail on modVar formatting.
