Why are the pitch sliders so sensitive?

[patrick maguire]

When changing the pitch of a sample. The tiniest moment creates a HUGE percentage change. Its like there is only one pixel per half step.
Why? It would be great to be able to move it and listen to the pitch change and be able to fine tune the samples. Its almost unusable.

There should also be a indication of the change in a window. Like a percentage , or cents field.
This would be very helpful.  When pitching Toms it is very hot and miss as is.

Hold Shift while dragging?

Usually it’s command while sliding.
not sure if this works. Still the distance is too small.

Shootie is right, holding shift while dragging the slider makes it easier to drag the decimals only. You can also double-click the value and enter the desired one.

Ahh. Yes, thats it. I never found this cause usually the “slow down” modifier key on a mac is “command”.

It even explains the format its displaying if you hover the cursor over the button and wait for the tip. I wish it incremented in half steps unless you opted to go in between. but thats another complaint.

Very cool thanks guys!
