ok, a little more serious now:
multiturn knob
just a hacked standard bitmap knob so all the normal CC, shift key etc. functionality. Had to remove the right click operation though, didn't make much sense on a multiturn knob. 🙂
Probably most useful if you need very fine control especially when used with Shift as well.
Maybe an arc around the knob could be nice indicating visually whereabouts you are in the knobs progress, a little bit like a vernier dial does.

Garry,
Is it possible to make this into a endless turn knob?

I've made a shuttle type control in this thread
Here's the file: remoteControlKnob2.osm
It might not be exactly what you want but you should be able to adapt it or learn from it.
The post was a while ago so it's not based on the latest knob. I'll have a look at it later and possibly post an update here.

I think oddsons example is nearer to what you want than my mine.
Would an endless knob stop at two preset extremes (say 0-1)? If so, wouldn't you still need to define how many turns you wanted to make to cover the distance?
Or would it just reset to the lower extrem when you pass the upper one (and vice versa)?

As far as i know, and endless know should NEVER arrive to any limit. As you drag mouse it increases/decreases the value, with the ratio of increase depending on speed of dragging
How to mathematically do it it's unclear to me

That's what mine does. It sends 'increase' and 'decrease' messages to a control that keeps track of the output.
But it could be used for a very large data range - say a time index.
It's been a while since I made this and until I get home I'm going from memory of what it does. I'll post a bit more later.
EDIT - UNK! - your alive! We gave you up for dead... or worse gone to SE. 😉

😊 -- it's not what I remember. It's like a spring loaded shuttlle button on some tape machines but it's not unlimited rotation.
Here's something that might be a start to what you're looking for. trottleKnob.osm
It's not really a knob yet but I wanted to see if I'm barking up the wrong tree before continuing.
It acts like a throttle. The more you push the faster it changes.
The scale is arbitrary. I was assuming you're looking to keep track of some kind of index values that are may vary significantly and you don't want to map them to 0-1 (milliseconds or sample positions?). If I'm headed in the right direction, adding a knob to display what's going on shouldn't be too difficult.
