Nice to see my design having some impact.
Sad it's not radial, but I hope the soon to be released fan-slider 
implementation will change the world anyway :)

I think right click should be reserved for context menus. 
For knobs they could contain:
- Set to Minimum
- Set to Maximum
- Center
- Copy
- Paste

Set to center is only interesting for parameters like panning.
I used an arrowhead/triangle above the knob to indicate the nature 
of the control and its center value. But it was also meant to be 
clickable for centering the value.
