I’d love to have even finer control of the frequency you select on the Parametric EQ. While right now it’s pretty great and very musical, there are those moments that I really want to do a deep Q 10 notch of a very specific frequency. I do this a lot for taming stuff in the 2-4khz range on super heavy distorted guitars.

For example, sometimes what I need is 2860hz but the QC’s freq selection works in steps, in this case 2744hz and 2912hz. Choosing one of those and widening the Q is the only workaround, but it makes tonal changes that are not the same as a super narrow notch.

Would love more control on the EQ!

Had the same problem and found the hidden solution to it ! Just double click on the frequency value and you will be able to enter the frequency you want with the keyboard !

me too… today trying i have found this solution.  
It would be fine if it was a button for “more precise” encoder rotation.  
As in daw… the mouse has a velocity… but if i press (example) ctrl the mouse is to move a lot for steps…  
A sort of rotation scaling  
The large steps in Cortex is not so nice if i want search a tone resonance and so on…
