16.3 CONTROLLING DYNAMICS
The list at the top-left of the pane shows the attributes that you selected for dynamics to be
applied to and at the bottom are the sets of dynamic Attribute Controls, one set per attribute.
The controls in the centre allow you to select a waveform and to modify various aspects of that
waveform. The current waveform including the effects of the selected modifiers is shown on the
right.
16.3.1 Waveform Control
The following selections control the waveform:
 Waveshape: Select the waveshape used to modulate the selected attribute(s) by
clicking on the drop down arrow. The available waveshapes are: Sine, Triangle, Square,
Ramp-up, Ramp-down, Hump, Random (slow, med or fast), Random (Slow snap,
Medium snap or Fast snap).
 Phase shift : when working with multiple attribute types (e.g. pan & tilt) each attribute
can have its own phase offset from the others. The -25% and +25% buttons provide
rapid phase shift alterations.
For example, if a sine wave is used to modulate Pan and Tilt, selecting only the Pan and
setting its offset to 25% will achieve a circle.
 Duty factor: this controls how much of the total time is spent 'within' the waveform
itself.
For example, if duty factor is set to 1, the waveform runs continuously. If duty factor is
set to 2, the waveform runs for half of the time then waits for the other half of the time
before it runs again. You can use this in conjunction with offset (see below) to establish
chase type effects.
 Rate: Sets the rate of the modulation in bpm (Beats per minute).
 Mirror check box: Doubles the waveform and reflects it about the middle.
 Metro. Sync: Synchronizes the stepping of the waveform to the Performance window’s
metronome.
On the LX consoles, buttons at the bottom of the encoder wheel touch screen provide quick
variations.
