Control

The ingame tooltip says "Affects the amount of quality improved in a single synthesis step."

However, this is misleading, since Quality is improved by Touch, and Progress is what is increased by Synthesis.

Control increases the amount of quality added by all Touch actions, making it easier to increase your HQ chance.

Some recipes need a minimum amount of control either for Quick Synthesis or to even attempt to craft.
