Said user here that made said tool to help out with continuous pinch-to-zoom in Cubase/Nuendo on Macs.
My current beta version is all about integrating Magic Mice into Cubase (see “New features”). Although I’ve been using it personally for weeks now, it’s not ready for release yet due to the lack of some important customization features required by many end-users in the wild. But if you’re interested in testing, I’ll create a pre-release on Github and share a link here on this forum. I could really use some end-users’ feedback…
Productive features (PinchBar 0.2):
- pinch on (Magic) Trackpad for horizontal, CMD+pinch for vertical, ALT+pinch for waveform zoom
- other presets for other apps than Cubase (e.g. pinch-to-zoom inside Mail, Xcode and other text editors …)
New features (current beta):
- (vertical) two finger scroll on Magic Mice for continuous trackpad-like zoom in all macOS apps, e.g. Cubase, Nuendo and other DAWs, Safari and other browsers, graphics/video editors, etc. This supports CMD/ALT modifiers for vertical/waveform zoom in Cubase, too
- one-hand alternative for ALT modfier: double tap and pinch/scroll without letting go from (Magic) Trackpad/Mouse to perform secondary zoom (i.e. vertical/waveform zoom)
- two/three finger click/tap on Magic Mouse/Trackpad to perform middle mouse click. In Cubase this allows clicking-and-dragging the view around with Magic Mice
- another preset for browsers: pinch-to-zoom (and vertical two-finger-scroll on Magic Mice) without modifiers just zooms normally, but changes font size when holding ALT (or doing the double tap+pinch/scroll thing). This fits better to most website layouts than zooming into and scrolling all over their pages…
All these new functions are not yet documented and cannot yet be switched on and off individually, since PinchBar lacks a sufficiently flexible configuration mechanism for such a diverse feature set…
