158 VX76 SOFTWARE USER MANUAL
When [Dynam] is selected...
+ Turning the RATE encoder will display the rate (such as 5.00).
+ Turning the SIZE encoder will display the size percentage (such as 78%).
Warning Messages
The warnings messages displayed in red on the Dynamics super palette are important. If problems occur during
programming, these will indicate why the dynamic is not behaving as expected, or why commands appear to have no
effect. The following is a list of primary warnings:
+ No selected channels.
+ Function filter has no parameters.
+ Current selected channel has no parameters with current function filter.
+ Fan will do nothing with only one channel selected.
+ Fan will only change second channel with only two channels selected.
+ Fanned encoder moves may appear very small with so many channels selected (more than 50).
+ Bias is holding Intensity at its maximum value. Try setting bias and/or Size->Autofit. (See "About Clipping" below.)
About Clipping
Dynamics are often partially or fully clipped by the parameters maximum and/or minimum value. For example, if
running an Intensity dynamic with intensity at 100%, and bias set to "Above," the dynamic will be fully clipped at
100% and will have no apparent effect. As the intensity is dialed down below 100%, the dynamic will be partially
clipped at 100% until intensity is dialed down low enough to match the dynamic size.
Sometimes, clipping is undesirable, but partially clipped Intensity dynamics with very large sizes can produce
interesting strobe-like waveforms.
An Intensity dynamic with a size of 1024 (400%) will have a waveform which is four times as large as the Intensity
range of 0 to 255. Prior to Vx76 software version 3.0, size was not scaled by the intensity value, so the size was fixed.
However, now the Intensity dynamic size is scaled by the intensity value itself, so that Intensity dynamics can be
faded out easily.
