All popular software-synthesizer knob controls adjust the value by dragging vertically. Including the really well-designed ones like Ableton Live.
Which is why this piece of UI is rather counter-intuitive, and it's obvious the author hasn't ever really used any other software with knob controls.
But even then, I kinda think knob controls aren't very user-friendly either way. I can sort of understand their usage in software synths as a skeuomorph, but that's about it.
