How can I create a knob object that can spin 360 degrees but also know how many times it's been spun so that its range of values is infinite? I basically want it to behave like a number box, but look like a knob. Has anyone done this? Thanks.

That's the sort of thing i might never have thought of making if not

Exactly! That makes my interface so much more intuitive. Thanks so much.

I see, so it gets confused when you spin too fast... You can get around this if you turn off vertical tracking, but that would be a nice feature to keep.

easier way to do it, but perhaps not.

It doesn't have jitter, but if you turn on vertical tracking you can see that it changes more slowly the faster you move. Here's your example w/ vertical tracking on and an LCD to display data:

These are all good solutions. An easy way to do this would be to use the jsui knob and adjust the script so that it doesn't output %1. Look in the msg_float function. js file attached.

That's an ideal solution for keeping the vertical tracking, but a nice feature the built in knobs have is resetting the mouse position once it reaches the top or bottom of the screen, allowing you to continue spinning the knob without finding it and clicking on it again after you run out of room. Any chance you know how to implement that?

Here's something, but I had to do the noMod stuff in max. The js file is different, so download this one.

Another version which will also move faster if you turn it faster:
