selection keys of the left four-way button and to make
a change with the selection keys of the right four-way
button, but also an existing curve can be vertically
repositioned within a range of ±25 % through use of the
 keys on the left four-way button. Starting with a
point value for "Point 1" at -55 %, the control curves in
both of the following figures have been vertically shifted
within the ±25 % range by the trim offset function:
C.Mix 9 8

You can also exit this function by tapping the centre
ESC key of the left four-way button.
Trim x-axis function
This function is activated by tapping the left () or
right () selection key of the right four-way button with
an active (i. e. inverse video) value field. You can then
use the selection keys on the right four-way button to
reposition the active point horizontally or vertically as
you wish. In the figure below, "Point 2" which was just
shifted to -55 % with the trim point function, will now be
shifted to the left, from input value +35 % to 0 %:

Notes:
• If the point is repositioned horizontally fur-
10
ther away from the current control position
than approx. ±25 %, a "?" sign will reap-
pear in the line Point. This question mark does not
refer to the repositioned point, however: instead, it
signifies that a further point can be set at the cur-
rent control position.
• Please note that the percentage value on the
10
"Output" line always relates to the current stick po-
sition and not to the position of the point.
Smoothing the curve
This "angular" curve profile created in the example can
be smoothed automatically simply by pressing a but-
ton.
Starting from the situation in the previous illustration,
first press the SET
button to conclude the procedure. Now use the Select
button  of the right-hand four-way button to move up
to the Value field of the "Curve" line, and press the
button of the right-hand four-way button once more:

Now press one of the Select buttons of the right-hand
four-way button in order to switch from "off" to "on",
then briefly press the central SET button of the right-
hand touch-button, or the central ESC
left-hand touch-button, to conclude the procedure:

The curves shown here are for demonstration
purposes only and are not at all representa-

application examples, see the programming exam-
ples on pages 286 and 325.
