I’m thinking quick access to any parameter from any block on the screen (preset/stomp/scene) or global settings by assigning them to these potentiometers. All we need is a pop up with the name of the parameter and the value increasing or decreasing when engaged. Use cases. 1. Its swipe down, select input and then adjust the input gain… or Turn potentiometer A and its setting input gain for input 1 and E is for input 2. 2. Same for outputs… may be my mic on input two is a bit soft and I need ‘rather immediately’ volume while in the middle of a song… simple turn the H potentiometer and keep and singing the next line. 3. While my expression pedal is bringing in the delay mix and feedback for parts of the song, I hear my repeats are a bit too harsh and I need to bring down the low pass filter. I’d like to use potentiometer B to control high pass and F for low pass on delays. 4. When using 2 inputs (Guitar and Vocals) I like to have the first row of potentiometer controlling parameters for all blocks going to output 1/2 and the next row controlling parameters for blocks routing to output 3/4. These are just examples… but will unlock a massive potential to quick access/edit… This ‘may’ also be attractive to those analog snobs who want to change by using a ‘knob’ :). Does anyone else have a use case idea? ---

At the risk of sounding pedantic, they’re rotary encoders, not potentiometers but I prefer to refer to them simply as “knobs”. 🤓 ---

Hi, this feature request already exists. > [@Option to assign encoders to control set parameters on different blocks](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/option-to-assign-encoders-to-control-set-parameters-on-different-blocks/9158): > > So what i was thinking was the ability to assign the encoders to a parameter on a pedal or amp block without having to select it first. For example, say the mix and feedback of a delay are set to A and B and the rate of a tremolo to C you can then turn the controls manually like some of us do live. If you were in presets or scene mode then just press the footswitch to return to the original settings. I know its not a function everybody would use but i realised earlier its one of the few things … > [@Global encoders](https://unity.neuraldsp.com/t/global-encoders/3827): > > The ability to assign global actions to rotary encoders, for example, the headphone volume would be very convenient to assign to the upper encoder responsible for switching preset banks (It seems to me that things like various volume controllers should always have physical manifestations available instantly, this is very important when working with sound). Given that any effect parameters can be adjusted using the touch screen, we can freely use encoders for other tasks globally, for example, f…
