Touch interface : increment and decrement buttons

New zynthian user here, I just made a quick build with just a pi and a 7" touchescreen. I’m impressed ! I’d love to have the full hardware but for now I’d like to see if using just the touch screen it works.

One feature that would hugely increase ease of use would be to have +1 and -1 buttons on the select button. It works fine to touch and slide when you need to change for example a filter resonnance, but when selecting a bank or an instrument it moves too fast.

As far as I understand it, there is no other way to quickly browse all instrument patches without actually selecting one (for previewing purposes).

I have the feeling it is much more satisfying using a rotary encoder, but for those with only a touch screen, having the ability to press +1 -1 would mimic the real hardware.

I hope you see what I mean, and congrats for this wonderfull project!

Hi @philippejadin

Great to see you here. I hope you have hours (years) of enjoyment from your Zynthian. You can report bugs and make feature requests in GitHub.

A quick solution may be to add a USB keyboard which gives full control.
