Dial Control
I have made available on GitHub a new Cocoa custom view I’ve built for use in Elysium and other projects. It’s a fairly simple rotary dial control modeled on the dials in Ableton Live. It also has another, in progress, style that is more akin to the pan control in Logic Pro. I may do a couple more styles in due course.
You can see a video of the control:
The source is available on GitHub.
The control includes a demo app (shown in the video) and an Interface Builder 3 plugin. As such, hopefully, it’s a good resource for anyone else looking into building their own controls. It’s actually not that hard to do but navigating the copious documentation (esp. the IB plugin docs) can be a challenge.
I’m grateful to Ciaran Walsh, Tomas Franzén, Dave Verwer, and peropaal for help.
