So how are the two methods different? The Offset method will keep a fixed amount of
value between the two zones whereas the Scale method will give you a sliding amount of
difference, based on the percentage. If you move the slider to the halfway point, the
Offset method would give you 64-37=27 and the Scale method would give you 64 x
.71=45.44 (sent as 45). And if you move the slider to the 1/ 4 point, the Offset method
would give you 32-37=-5 (sent as 0) and the Scale method would give you 32 x
.71=22.72 (sent as 22 - values to the right of the decimal point are truncated, not
rounded up).
So which method is better? It all depends on what you need and how you want the
Setup to sound. Try creating two different Setups, using the two different methods. Then
play and move the sliders and see which one sounds better to you. Try using different
amounts of Offset and Scale to see what works best.
DonÕt forget to name and save your Setups!
