NAS's cool knobs and the great concentric knob example by Shifrin inspired me to work on my own knob that I could easily scale and change around the proportions of some of the objects. So I ended up with this. It's not quite finished and the shematic is kind of messy but it seems to scale perfectly to my delight as long as you are scaling to a square shaped region (but who needs a rectangular shaped knob anyway?).

So I hope this is usefull to someone. As always, please share your thoughts/suggestions/bugs.

neat hack. ideas/comments:

• an oval knob would be neat, though I think only those who make strange GUIs would actually use it • For that matter, would be good idea to have knob auto-squaring (adjust X = Y, whatever is smallest) • show range of motion in GUI; I thought it was a 360 dial (GUI:Arc should do the trick) • Bus could help clean up Module:Knob good luck

Do you know what would be nice? A discrete knob! A knob that can assume only a finite set of values. It would be useful for pitch-bend range, selectors, and so on.

My spider senses say that this could already be possible

Look at topic "The definitive Knob" in Projects forum. there's an option to set it to quantize the ouput values from 2 to 15
