Hi, i trying to figure how make circular knob have circular drag.

In the actual knobs, if you wnat move the knob, you need make lineal movement dragin the mouse up or down, soem idea about how change this t circular movement?

Iapreciate any help, i cant figure how do that in this right moment.

suggestions (not tried yet): Check the standard knob. It has some logic for a right mouse-button klick to set the knob value at a certain angle. Compute the angle using a Dragxy module (angle = arctan (y/x), related to the center of the knob).

(BTW: I personally don't like the circular knob control style of old VST plugins)
