- Dedicated clip LED at the hot end (default on): lights when the
signal reaches clipThreshold (default max), holds for clipHold ms or
latches until clicked ('latch'); clipColor, onClip callback,
data-clipped root attribute, data-part=clip for CSS
- clipValue prop: separate signal for clip detection so the bar can
show RMS while the LED watches sample peaks, like real meters
- Synth: analyser loop now computes sample peaks alongside RMS and
feeds them to the clip detector - overdriving the synth genuinely
trips the LED
- Gallery meter demo throws occasional hot transients to exercise it;

# dreamknob
|
||
|
||
Studio-grade React knobs & faders. Rotary, linear, 2D, 3D, digital and analog — with a
|
||
headless core, any number range, any decimal precision, and colors you fully control.
|
||
Zero runtime dependencies.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
npm install dreamknob
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
import { FlatKnob } from 'dreamknob'
|
||
|
||
function Volume() {
|
||
const [value, setValue] = useState(64)
|
||
return (
|
||
<FlatKnob
|
||
size={90}
|
||
value={value}
|
||
onChange={setValue}
|
||
min={0}
|
||
max={100}
|
||
step={0.5}
|
||
label="Volume"
|
||
unit="%"
|
||
aria-label="Volume"
|
||
/>
|
||
)
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Uncontrolled works too: pass `defaultValue` instead of `value`/`onChange`
|
||
(it also becomes the double-click reset target).
|
||
|
||
## Interaction model
|
||
|
||
Every component shares one core:
|
||
|
||
| Gesture | Behaviour |
|
||
| --- | --- |
|
||
| Drag | `rotary` (grab & turn, follows the pointer angle), `vertical`, `horizontal`, `both`, or absolute `track-*` (faders) |
|
||
| Scroll wheel | one `step` per notch (else 1% of range); `Shift` = fine on continuous values — snapped controls always move whole steps |
|
||
| `↑ → / ↓ ←` | ± one step (`Shift` = 10×) |
|
||
| `PageUp/PageDown` | ± 10 % of range |
|
||
| `Home/End` | min / max |
|
||
| Double-click | reset to `defaultValue` — or open the type-in editor with `editable` |
|
||
| `Escape` | cancel an in-flight drag, restoring the start value |
|
||
| Touch / pen | pointer capture, `touch-action: none` |
|
||
|
||
All knobs render `role="slider"` with `aria-valuemin/max/now` (and `aria-valuetext`
|
||
when you provide `getAriaValueText`).
|
||
|
||
## Value handling
|
||
|
||
- `min` / `max` — any numbers (negative, fractional, huge).
|
||
- `step` — decimal snap increments (`0.5`, `0.001`, `1e-7`…) with float-drift-safe
|
||
rounding; display precision inferred automatically, overridable via `decimals`.
|
||
- `values={[0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4]}` — discrete allowed values.
|
||
- `steps={5}` — evenly spaced detents (selector knobs).
|
||
- `taper` — `linearTaper` (default), `logTaper` (frequencies), `powTaper(n)` (gain),
|
||
or your own `{ toNormalized, fromNormalized }`.
|
||
- `origin={0}` — bipolar anchor: arcs/fader fills draw from this value (pan, gain trim).
|
||
- `detents={[0]}` + `detentSize` — magnetic snap points while dragging.
|
||
- `editable` — double-click (knobs) or click the readout (faders) to type an exact
|
||
value; `parseValue` customizes parsing (`"1.2k"` → 1200 out of the box).
|
||
- `rotaryMode` — `'absolute'` (rc-knob feel), `'relative'` (no grab jump), or
|
||
`'pickup'` (MIDI-style: engages when the pointer sweeps past the value).
|
||
- `dragAcceleration` — velocity gain for relative drags; `hideCursorOnDrag` hides
|
||
the cursor mid-gesture.
|
||
- `wheelStep` / `wheelRequiresFocus` — tune wheel notches, or keep hover-scroll free.
|
||
- `onChange` / `onChangeStart` / `onChangeEnd` — gesture-aware callbacks with
|
||
`meta.source` (`'drag' | 'wheel' | 'keyboard' | 'reset' | 'api'`).
|
||
- `wrap` — endless encoder mode: values roll around min↔max (pair with
|
||
`angleOffset={0} angleRange={360}`).
|
||
- `animateChanges` — tween the pointer on programmatic changes (preset loads);
|
||
gestures never animate and `prefers-reduced-motion` is honored.
|
||
- `valueBubble` — floating readout above the control while dragging.
|
||
- `name` — hidden form input for plain `<form>` posts on every knob, fader and
|
||
`PushButton` (`XYPad` uses `nameX`/`nameY`). Interactive components forward a ref
|
||
to their root element, and primitive-drawn SVG parts carry `data-part` attributes
|
||
for CSS styling.
|
||
|
||
## Prebuilt skins
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
import {
|
||
FlatKnob, // clean 2D arc knob (arcFrom="center" for pan knobs)
|
||
MetalKnob, // 3D brushed aluminum, knurled rim (tone="silver" | "dark")
|
||
RubberKnob, // 3D soft-touch synth knob with glow halo
|
||
VintageKnob, // chicken-head bakelite over a printed scale
|
||
LEDKnob, // segmented LED ring + true seven-segment readout
|
||
NeonKnob, // glowing arc for dark UIs
|
||
SteppedKnob, // detented selector (positions={['LP','BP','HP']})
|
||
Fader, // linear channel fader, vertical or horizontal
|
||
LEDFader, // segmented LED meter-fader with color zones
|
||
ImageKnob, // film-strip sprite knob (KnobMan-style PNG strips)
|
||
Meter, // read-only LED level meter with peak hold + latching clip LED
|
||
XYPad, // two-parameter pad (cutoff/resonance, vector mixing)
|
||
PushButton, // panel button with LED strip (toggle or momentary)
|
||
SegmentDisplay, // standalone seven-segment numeric display
|
||
AlphaDisplay, // fourteen-segment alphanumeric display
|
||
} from 'dreamknob'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Theming
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
import { DreamknobProvider } from 'dreamknob'
|
||
|
||
<DreamknobProvider base="dark" theme={{ accent: '#ff4d6b' }}>
|
||
{/* every control below inherits the tokens; instance props still win */}
|
||
</DreamknobProvider>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`base="light"` swaps in light-background defaults. Tokens: `accent`, `track`, `face`,
|
||
`text`, `label`, `ticks`, `focusRing`, `fontMono`, `fontUI`.
|
||
|
||
Every knob skin and fader takes the core props plus `size`, `label`, `showValue`,
|
||
`unit`, `format`, and per-part color props (`color`, `trackColor`, `faceColor`,
|
||
`bodyColor`, …). `VintageKnob` has no readout, so it omits `showValue`/`unit`/`format`;
|
||
the display components (`Meter`, `SegmentDisplay`, `AlphaDisplay`) have their own
|
||
smaller prop sets.
|
||
|
||
Also exported for custom builds: primitives (`Arc`, `Pointer`, `Ticks`, `TickLabels`,
|
||
`Face`, `KnobValue`, `KnobLabel`, `GlowFilter`), theming (`useKnobTheme`, `darkTheme`,
|
||
`lightTheme`), editing (`ValueInput`, `defaultParseValue`), colors (`mixColors`,
|
||
`sampleGradient`), and the math kit (`clamp`, `roundTo`, `snapToStep`,
|
||
`decimalsFromStep`, `findClosest`, `applyDetents`, tapers, angle/arc helpers).
|
||
|
||
## Compose your own
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
import { Knob, Arc, Pointer, Ticks, KnobValue } from 'dreamknob'
|
||
|
||
<Knob size={96} min={-24} max={24} step={0.5} defaultValue={0} aria-label="Trim">
|
||
<Ticks count={25} activeColor="#ffd23e" />
|
||
<Arc radius={36} thickness={3} color="#ffd23e" from="center" />
|
||
<Pointer type="triangle" radius={33} length={9} width={8} color="#ffd23e" />
|
||
<KnobValue unit=" dB" />
|
||
</Knob>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`<Knob>` also accepts a render function: `{(ctx) => <YourSVG angle={ctx.angle} />}`.
|
||
|
||
## Fully headless
|
||
|
||
```tsx
|
||
import { useKnob } from 'dreamknob'
|
||
|
||
const { value, normalized, angle, isDragging, bind, setValue } = useKnob({
|
||
min: 0, max: 11, step: 0.1, defaultValue: 11, 'aria-label': 'Volume',
|
||
})
|
||
return <div {...bind}>…your own rendering…</div>
|
||
```
