Minimum and Maximum Values
Minimum and Maximum values are contained within Control Profiles that set the range of
parameter values that can be achieved when controlled with Live Control. This includes
being able to set lower and upper limits.
This is useful in situations where it may be important to limit the lower or higher values of a
parameter. An example would be limiting the Intensity gain of a processor to prevent panels
being set to a brightness level that is undesirable.
When Live Control is used to control a parameter, the parameter will be limited between the
minimum and maximum values, with the DMX channel used to control the parameter being
scaled between the two values.
Default Values
When working with parameters such as group position, it is important to note that the
location and orientation of the assigned group on the canvas when Live Control was
enabled will be treated as its default location. Minimum and maximum values will be applied
from the initial position on the canvas. If Live Control is disabled and the assigned group is
subsequently moved on the canvas and Live Control is re-enabled, the new position of the
assigned group on the canvas will be used as it’s default position and the minimum and
maximum values will be applied from there. This means that stored presets that place the
group in one position on the canvas may now move it to a different position. So for
consistent positioning in live control it is best not to move the position of groups once live
control programming has begun.
It is possible to lock a single parameter on the processor to a value by setting both the
minimum and maximum value to the value you would like to lock the parameter too. This
would prevent Live Control from changing the value of this channel whilst allowing changes
to be made to other parameters that are part of that Live Control profile.
