Here is a automated knob I came up with. I'm not a pro at DSP, so it's a bit of a cowboy job. I think there is potential in this idea-I'm just suspicious about the method I've used. At the moment, it's got three"speeds", and you can change the starting value by manually turning the knob. Any tips on how to make it better, or maybe a different approach, would be great. Here's the osm https://secure1.storegate.com/Shares/Home.aspx?ShareID=4b735582-1c0a-43e0-a485-3196370dd045

Cheers billv!
I thought automation was already possible in most of the knobs?
What differs between the stock knob's automation and yours?
I like your "cowboy job." It reminds me of a circuit board. All is needed is a Transformer and a fuse holder. 🙂

Here's my shot at it, but i need to sort out the knob so it doesn't go over the animation frames:
Hopefully this is an ok attempt!!

My Soopa Loopa loop mangler has a similar 'Auto Fade' function on its main knobs, and also motion recording for looping automation moves - Posted Here - the download has a pdf manual to show how to use it. The knob functions aren't very self-contained in that schematic - you've reminded me that I did mean to extract the knob parts to make something more general purpose - if I get the chance, I'll try to post something over the weekend. The schematic is also posted for registered users, so feel free to have a poke around inside and recycle anything useful.

Soopa loopa looks bent, looking forward to trying it out. LoopyTunes version interesting too. I've just built a whole synth with the autoknob everywhere and it's insane. Lot's a fun. Seems to work well for "Glitch" type of stuff.... The link to my Osm was bad. I've re-posted it. Thanks for feed back.

Here is another example of an auto knob! it was created by another forum user and i made a few changes 🙂
It needs audio out to be running. just give it a wiggle and it will record your movements,let go and it will recreate that movement!
Best regards

Heres' a demo channel from a project I'm working on. It's an automated Midi sequencer. This one is running a bit heavy, but still a good demo. https://secure1.storegate.com/Shares/Home.aspx?ShareID=fcaae3cf-e02e-411d-9405-fb0bb4abdc4e

Here's a vector based automated knob...
Increment and Decrement increase or decrease the value (by the value of the Step property I think).. The input value allows the knob value to be set...You can therefore, link it up to some value stream in order to get it to move along with some streaming values...
I designed it with a specific case in mind, but as it happens, it's very useful in general... When I go to make a quick and dirty "internal controller" in FL SynthMaker I will use an invisible one of these and set it's value to whatever I want to send to the host...
The nice thing is that it manages to handle the preset stuff properly even though it has an input as well as an output. As simple as this is to say, it's very tricky to get it to work in SM because of the way triggers work...
Cheers

This is the most accurate one I've come up with. It's based on Myco's "Simple seq osm" in reg users. Had some issues but "trogluddite" fixed it help section.
