Pro-Q 4 new slope behaviour
Thanks for the great innovations in Pro-Q 4. Top.
Probem: When I create a lowcut filter at 30Hz and want to change the slope on the band control panel using the mousewheel (12dB/oct initial position), the scrolling behavior of Pro-Q 4 is now the opposite of the previous version Pro-Q 3&2. This means that when scrolling down, you can change the slope of Pro Q 4 from 12dB to 6dB. Whereas with Pro- Q version 3&2, when scrolling down, you could change 12dB to Brickwall, i.e. exactly the opposite. Is this a bug? Can this behavior be changed in the settings? It's totally annoying for my personal workflow.

Hi Mario,
This was a conscious change: in retrospect it just didn't make sense to scroll down to increase the slope, while for all other parameters you move the wheel up to increase the value. We also needed a bit of time to adjust to the new direction but we do feel it's worth it to make everything consistent. I hope you understand the reasoning here and will be able to get used to the new behavior.
Cheers,
Yes, that's what I thought - it makes sense. It certainly doesn't harm the long-standing love affair between Pro Q and me. Thanks for your answer Frederik
Just put the dropdown menu back please, that makes the most sense. Now with single click nothing happens - which makes no sense. With double click I can enter the numbers - which makes no sense. And if I click on the up and down arrows, nothing happens - which makes no sense. Not sure why this change happened.
