Simplification #1


Thinking about it overnight, this can be simplified.

We only need two up steppers (and two down).  They can be shared by the different up increment knobs.  The number of steps up (or down) is controlled by the number of ticks in the knob.  For an even number of steps, assign both steppers (e.g., 10 = both steppers and 6 ticks0, one stepper for an odd number of increments.  (Added +/- 7 for the odd case.)

Other settings as above.

Scrubber solution


This is the simplest, may work for want you need.  I just find the scrubbers are a little touchy, but they might work for what you need.  Maybe should have started with this and avoided the more complicated versions.

The scrubbers can be unintuitive, since the up scrubber pushes the main controls up whether operated up or down, similar for down scrubber.

The steppers can be hidden in play, or left visible to nudge up or down by one.  And you could combine with the solutions above for precise +10, etc adjustments.

All this needs is two steppers, one for up, one for down, with the no-wrap option.

Add knob supercontrol for the steppers.

And turn off midi receive for the controls above.

I would think that reducing the number of ticks should slow the scrubber action, making more precise, but doesn't work that way.
