Grab the handle and crank it like an old car window! Each full 360° rotation changes volume by 1.
Clockwise increases • Counter-clockwise decreases
Why This Control Is Terrible
Users must grab and rotate a crank handle exactly like old manual car windows. The handle requires continuous circular motion to change volume - clockwise increases, counter-clockwise decreases. There's no quick adjustment; you have to physically crank it multiple times for significant changes. The mechanism has realistic resistance and inertia, making fine-tuning nearly impossible. Just like those old car windows that would get stuck halfway.
