Here's a elliptic variation of the usual rectangle x-y pad. The controlling dot is limited to a elliptic path.
This works with all elliptic forms.
Some explanation of the underlying math is included.
Since i'm not using FS right now i've no clue if that maybe done with ruby any better.
Anyway...hope you like it...

OSM from SM forum

EDIT: Since it really doesn't make sense to upload twice i just copied the download link here and removed the fsm version.
P.S. added some inputs

Thanks!

OSM files are woring in FS, so no need for duplicates I guess?
It does not works backwards (which is not a big deal for FS users).

Hi Jay, that's nice - quite often the square form of x,y pad isn't quite right - and your maths gives the option to output and angle and distance rather than x and y even.
One improvement I would suggest - at the moment, the 'ball' is restricted to the circle, but the main outputs aren't, and can still output values that are outside the circle if you drag over the edge. An option to use the actual 'ball position' values might be handy for those time when the extreme 'corner' values aren't needed.

Hi trog,
though i'm not Jay i corrected that issue. Of course you're right. the "rectangled" 0-1 output doesn't make any sense in the elliptic body. I simply forgot to do the right output connects. But by correcting this i noticed that the elliptic math was done at the wrong place anyway. Now it's placed after the preset module where it should belong! So thanks for the comment

New version at the initial post.

Cheers

cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
i think this: http://www.dsprobotics.com/support/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1121&start=10 is interesting here too, its a normal xy Pad done with ruby..
