I would like to hover my mouse over a virtual pot/parameter and use the scroll wheel to make changes... Please

Perhaps the ability to turn it on/off in prefs

Definitely an option to turn it off. I've used Final Cut Pro and this feature makes me crazy. It's impossible to scroll in a view and NOT change some parameter by accident.

Yeh, not so good in a live situation but for studio work yeh.

Yeah I would love to see more mouse wheel action too.
Plus 1.

I'd love to see it too... I use the URS plugs a lot and love the way they work with the scroll wheel. Very smooth a precise control. Maybe this could just be invoked by a modifier key to help prevent accidental parameter changes.

I'd also love to have scroll wheel zoom similar to how Logic operates. Would make for a much smoother work flow for me.

Netiquette or GTFO.

Yes please. This is one of few features I still miss from Cubase.

hmm sounds not so bad.

And in Midi-Editor Mousewheel could switch between drawing and editing mode. Or even better change the scale of the grid?!

oh yes

All the U-he plug-ins have scroll support, although it takes a little getting used to having the ability to move one finger instead of your whole hand is awesome. +1 for prolonging arthritis

I think there should be an option to enable/disable parameter changes with the scroll wheel.

This can be helpful for people with wrist problems and disabilities.

Its much more of a natural way to work with parameters. I love it on most of my vst plugins: massive, volcano, etc...

Ctrl+scroll to avoid accidental parameter adjustments while scrolling. Speaking of scrolling - my Microsoft Wireless Mouse 500 won't scroll properly in the browser; it works fine in all other applications.

I have a Microsoft mouse with with wire and it doesn't scroll browser lists either. At all. And like in your case also works fine in other apps.
This is my biggest workflow problem in Live by far.

Edit 4.7.: after installing Live 9.1.3 and changing my mouse settings from Control Panel (how many lines are scrolled) now scrolling Browser lists works a little bit.
Not very smoothly like in other programs, but the functionality is not totally disabled.
So I'm very glad with this unexpected improvement.

I would like to use my audient id14 and use the scroll wheel for automation etc. - but it seems like this isn't possible in ableton? Would like this option, please
