Probably the best feature of Bitwig Connect is, for me, is the big knob that can change any parameter. However, I don’t need all the other stuff.

Is it possible to recreate this functionality using another controller?

Behringer X-Touch One maybe? It would run with the MCU script…

I added the feature to several of the controllers I support with DrivenByMoss and it is also available in Generic Flexi, so you can make it work with any controller.

Awesome! I use your Push 2 script. Is it in that? What controllers have endless knobs? What kind of messages does the controller need to send so that the value increments / decrements instead of snapping to the absolute midi value that is sent by the knob?

Yes, on Push you can assign it to the Ribbon (see the DrivenByMoss manual).
There too many controllers with relative knobs to name them all.

Can you assign it to the ribbon or jogwheel on NI MkIII keyboards?

No. As you might no, the Kontrol keybaords are state-based and you can only fill in data. I could replace the knobs function but this would need to be changed in the settings which would be pretty ugly. The ribbon could be an interesting idea, will add it to my (long :-)) list of things to look into.

Makes sense. Is there a specific type of messages does that a relative knob sends? I’m guessing it’s different than 0-127?

There are different variations how the relative movement is encoded in the 7-bit value. In Generic Flexi you can select the matching one for each knob.

What do you call it in the manual? I'm searching, but unsure what to look for?

Thanks for your help. I got it. Very cool! It appears as if the hover only works for Bitwig knobs, not in the plugin's GUI, correct?

It works with plugins as well (if they support it) but the difference is that you need to click on the knob/control element instead of only hovering over it.
