Ok, so I've finally decided to use this synth in a project, and am noticing something which is slowing me down considerably.
I like to be able to quickly type in values for knobs and faders (for example, quickly setting a filter to 400hz), but it seems the only way to do this, is to right click a knob, and select "Edit Value" from the dropdown list?
In FL, this is extremely annoying, because "Edit Value" is often nowhere near the area that I right clicked, so I have to carefully move my mouse to the option, every time I want to change something accurately.
I'm not sure if it's my AHK script, or the synth, but I can find no quicker way to do this!
Usually, when synths allow numerical input, there is a shortcut, like Alt + click, or double clicking the numerical readout below the knob, but with Surge, to my surprise, there is no such shortcut!
Is this just my comp? Or is it really not there?
If not, may I please request that this be added at some point? Obviously Shift click is reserved for fine tuning, and double click resets to default, but Alt click seems to be free, and would actually be most intuitive for me, as my left thumb is always on the spacebar's edge, so I can press Alt without even looking.
Not just throwing this in for the fun of it... I really think this lack of a shortcut will be enough to stop me reaching for this synth, which would be a shame, because this really has turned into a supersynth, at an amazing rate.
