Question/suggestion about/for music app interface
Why there is no big use of momentary switches to surf menus and toggle (secondary)functions like many hardware devices have?
Eg: if I turn this knob plain and and simple I will be editing OSC 1 properties BUT if I turn that knob while holding button X it while affect something else.
If anyone is interested in why I'm asking this question and what benefits this could bring just say it and I'll be glad to elaborate. In this very moment I just don't have enough time to unravel properly this matter

I have been thinking of a stems arranger that would utilize something like this where there is a stack of buttons on the left side and depending which button you are holding you have different abilities to manipulate clips. I think it would be great!
I've long wondered the same. It's so infrequent that it makes me think a few devs must have tried it and concluded it didn't work well on touch screens.
I really like the idea. That's part of the reason I started that thread about best workflow. I typically gravitate towards apps with intuitive interface(s) and controls, but sometimes when the app sounds great, you have to bend to the will of the developer(s).
As far as I can imagine the only reason to avoid two handed actions could be accessibility(hence some kind of Apple Store rule) for one handed people, which could be perfectly reasonable
Im not sure I understand
U mean like pressing a "shift" key to trigger a 2nd function?
That's not very intuitive
On hardware it's down because stuff costs money
Or functions were added later
Exactly
yes and no; primarily yes but most of the people use "shift", "fn", "alt" and "cmd/Ctrl" keys since always for the most varied purposes
That's what we power users do,
Try to explain this to your mum
It confuses the hell out of my mum
Pressing combinations of keys or hold alt while clicking or shift for fine control is for advanced users ...
But I don't your mum would be interested in keyboard shortcuts for Auria, because she wouldn't be interested in Auria at first.
Dunno, I was a computer power user since I was 9 along with my friends so I can only speak for me/us
I like keyboard shortcuts
I don't have to think about this stuff anymore since I use them for a very long time
Press this magic combination so I don't have to look in whatever menus/icons the function is hiding
Keyboard on iOS are kind of a new thing
Introduced with iPad Pro ... before it was well ...
That's why I edit audio on the mac
With shortcuts and the precise action of a mouse trackpad I do stuff in seconds that take me forever on iOS
Shake to undo instead of apple & z is really strange I think
It works on the phone but on iPads it feels weird
And people start looking at you if you do it in public
I find these kinds of operations slightly strange on the iPad, maybe because it involves two hands and thus requiring to hold the iPad differently just for that app or just for that command. Cubasis does it in its piano roll and I find it less elegant than most other solutions.
ProtoSketch, a vector graphic app, uses shift and alt buttons as part of the interface which kind of works -- especially since they do what shift and alt do in desktop graphic packages. So here it is two handed operation vs learning a new thing.
This.
Mom why is that man shaking the thing?
I think he's epileptic, leave him alone.
It kind of works if you have it in landscape mode hold it in one hand and clap the iPad against the other hand but it's still awkward.
No matter what you do you have to a) pick it up and shake it or b) change holding positions and shake it
Baaah
Aha. That's interesting.
