So far the Blackbox is almost an example in terms of UI usability but there are still two places where I feel uncomfortable : the sample waveform view and the note editor view.
So I suggest this alternative way to zoom/unzoom to the current "smartphonesque" pinch to zoom option, which is good for some situations (pictures/web) but quite impractical in the sample/pattern editing usage.
This would work like below :
- Place and keep your finger on the area of the sample/pattern where you want to zoom on
- Use one of the knobs to zoom in/out
- The place where your have your finger on becomes the epicenter of the zoom.
That removes the need of constantly having to adjust the position of the visible area while zooming on the sample or note editor and I believe this will make the overall workflow way more efficient and pleasant. Of course current behavior can be kept, my suggestion is a bit of a shortcut for targeted zooming.
You have one month, otherwise I file a patent
