hey guys, you are bored by the "standard" knob shape/movement (round´n´rotating)? then just enter the coordinates in the properties panel to make your knob move along the path! at the moment you have to connect another knob to control the gui but i´ll make them moveable with the mouse as soon as i have time. i know there are still some improvements to make before i post this in the examples section but if you want to have a look here´s the osm

Interesting! I can think of a few ways to use these 🙂 BTW, are they to be knobs, or just readouts, since I can't seem to drag on to of them; I have to input values via the Float-in?

I used to go very indeep in Korg Wavestation synthesis which actually comprehend such way of visualizing a path between 4 waveforms (vectorial synthesis). Your osm is a good base to start reproducing those special kind of modulation, also found in SCI Prophet VS, Roland D-50 and Yamaha SY/TG series... 😉

the examples i´ve posted are just readouts but i´ve just added a drag module to make them knobs. 🙂 i´ll upload it in a few minutes. i saw this in a small collection of vst/vsti plugins,i can´t really remember the name... : 🙁 but what i can remember is the gui, it was such a nice way to visualize knobs, i hope i can find this collection again. thx for your comment 😉

...btw,credits to barak, i used his 5point-break module, my math skills aren´t really good : 😊

...here´s the osm with some new examples and i made them real knobs (or better faders?), you don´t have connect a float value to the input .

Hmm i really like that was trying something similar with a new wavetable lfo im trying to build! instead i need a point of light to follow a wave shape ive done so with mixed results!

Nice! I was thinking about the same idea with a ball/line following a ADSR shape. 🙂 What do you mean by "mixed results"? The only thing off I can find is that you didn't calculate the size of the ball in the offest; the position of the ball is in the upper-right corner (?).
